This
past Friday the nurses at the Chisholm Health Center held an
informational picket. The facility is owned by St. Francis and the
nurses are represented by United Steelworkers
Local 9349. They have been in contract negotiations for nine months.
The company is not only refusing to give their workers a raise, but are
demanding significant cuts to their benefits package. However they had
plenty of money to give management a raise! The union picket was well
received by passersby, and the nurses were joined by Steelworkers from
the nearby mines, members of United Steelworkers Local 9460 from Duluth,
SOAR (Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees) and the United Food
& Commercial Workers.
