Health Care Workers employed at New Jersey’s Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice and Inspira Health have both voted to join the Health Professionals and Allied Employees (HPAE), an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). In two separate National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Elections, Registered Nurse Case Managers at Inspira Health Medical Centers and Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers and other Staff at Samaritan both won their votes to form Unions. HPAE President Debbie White said: “These elections show tremendous solidarity and commitment. We congratulate them on the wins! Unions give Workers a voice and when Health Care Workers have a greater voice in their workplace, patients always benefit.”
