500 Nurses Unionize at St. Mary's

Five hundred nurses at St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, marking the largest private sector union election in 26 years—89% voted yes. Facing alleged union-busting tactics from management, including threats and workplace intimidation, the nurses sought a stronger voice to influence staffing, retention, and patient care. Despite the hospital’s challenge over charge nurse eligibility, the National Labor Relations Board backs their inclusion. Now certified, the union will shape contract priorities as SEIU expands its healthcare workforce representation to fight for better conditions and patient outcomes.
