Over 1,200 nurses, patients, and neighbors of UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh delivered an open letter to the Magee Board of Directors asking to address the board in person at their upcoming public meeting in October.

Dozens of elected officials have also signed the letter.

"Magee nurses have been advocating tirelessly on behalf of infants, women, and everyone in our region, but UPMC has stood in their way instead of collaborating with them, so the Magee board needs to hear directly from nurses and their patients," said Democratic state Rep. Dan Frankel of Squirrel Hill who chairs the state House health committee.

Nurses, patients, community members, and elected officials are calling on the UPMC Magee-Womens Board of Directors to hold their annual public meeting in person and allow for nurses and the public to address the board during a one hour comment period.

After several months at the bargaining table, UPMC has yet to respond to some of Magee nurses' most urgent proposals, including those about staffing and retention.

Last month, when patients requested to join negotiations to discuss their support for nurses' proposals—based on their personal care experiences and the experiences of thousands of other patients who participated in the nurses' community survey—they were turned away.

Instead of responding to nurses, UPMC is using resources to run Phase 2.0 of an anti-union campaign: paying expensive lawyers and consultants to campaign against union membership, making marginal improvements while withholding others, and even pointing to the "futility" of Magee negotiations as a reason for nurses in other hospitals to give up on organizing.

Now, nurses, patients, community members, and elected officials are escalating their concerns about this behavior to the board.

We have until Labor Day (September 7) to gather as many signatures as possible on this letter from everyone across who has a stake in how patient care is delivered in our hospitals.

Let's send a clear message to UPMC that nurses and patients deserve to be heard!
