Nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital will be calling for a union election this afternoon. The union for nurses and healthcare workers in the state says the substantial majority of the more than 1,000 nurses at Magee say they support forming a union in what's being called the largest organizing effort by nurses in recent history in Pennsylvania. Those forming the union would include RNs and APPs including midwives, NPs, and others, who say the insurance executives' priorities are getting in the way of the needs of medical providers.
