Our union has filed grievances demanding that the layoff notices be recinded as well as submitted detailed requests for information – which have gone unanswered.
Nizar Kifaieh promised a us plan by today (10/1). Where is it?
We’re keeping up the pressure: Email [email protected] with the Subject “What’s Your Plan?” Tell him:
“As HPAE Members and loyal employees, my coworkers and I demand that management withdraw its layoff notices until we see your plan to protect jobs and services at Heights Hospital.”
