Nurses at UnityPoint Health in Des Moines are seeking to unionize under the Teamsters, and members of the Iowa community are rallying in support of their efforts. On Wednesday, September 24, representatives from various local organizations plan to demonstrate outside UnityPoint Health’s corporate office. The gathering aims to call on the healthcare provider to act as a responsible employer during this period of unionization efforts.
The demonstration comes as nurses prepare for an upcoming election that will determine whether they will join the Teamsters union. Supporters argue that unionization could provide nurses with stronger workplace protections and a greater voice in addressing issues such as staffing levels and working conditions. The event highlights growing community involvement in labor movements within the healthcare sector, with participants urging UnityPoint Health to respect workers’ rights throughout the process.
