NLRB considering union's latest complaint against ACMH Hospital in East Franklin

A discrimination charge filed against ACMH Hospital in East Franklin last month could be joining an earlier union complaint at a trial in front of a federal judge in Pittsburgh in September.
An August trial on the earlier charge alleging hospital officials acted illegally by taking self-scheduling duties away from workers has been moved to Sept. 2. The National Labor Relations Board ruled in favor of the union in that complaint, meaning the hospital, to avoid trial, would have to restore the self-scheduling system for workers before the court date.
In the case filed last month, the complaint alleges the hospital discriminated against workers by denying pay raises and cutting shifts of anyone participating in union activities. The union's complaint says the hospital prohibited workers from passing out handbills and picketing on ACMH property.
If the latest complaint is found to have merit, it will be consolidated with the earlier charge for trial, said NLRB attorney Suzanne Bernett.
