County Council

A resolution backs Magee-Womens nurses as a July 4 contract deadline nears.

Almost 900 nurses and advanced practitioners at Magee-Womens Hospital have bargained for their first union contract since January. On June 23, ten county council members introduced a resolution backing them. It says the county's relationship with UPMC depends on UPMC being a fair employer. Union members planned to vote on legal action if there was no contract by July 4.
