FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Registered nurses who care for patients at Framingham Union Hospital will hold a banner outside Framingham City Hall on Tuesday, October 17 starting at 4 p.m. to shine a public light on their advocacy for patient safety and professional respect as they approach an election to unionize with the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA).
- Location: In front of Framingham City Hall, 150 Concord St., Framingham, MA
Details: Nurses will unveil a banner that says, "We're putting the union in Framingham Union for better patient care." - There are approximately 280 nurses eligible to be part of the union.
- The nurses tried to receive recognition rather than an election to ensure precious hospital resources were put into patient care rather than union-busting consultants.
- Founded in 1903, the Massachusetts Nurses Association is the largest union of registered nurses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
