Hospital Challenges Nurses' Union Win | Madison News

Over 500 nurses at St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison voted to unionize, but SSM Health is challenging the election, claiming certain charge nurses—despite being key team leaders—shouldn’t have voted because they’re supervisors. Even if all 83 disputed votes went against the union, the majority would still win. Charge nurses like Mat Arras push back, calling their role team captain, not boss, with no hiring or firing power. The NLRB has received the challenge but hasn’t responded yet, leaving contract talks on hold as nurses push for better staffing, pay, and retention amid ongoing healthcare shortages.
