Corewell Health nurses could be a part of the teamsters union if they vote yes to it this week.
Some nurses from Corewell Health hospitals across metro Detroit came together on Sunday night to encourage their fellow nurses from Corewell Health’s Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital to vote yes to unionize.
“We’re just sick of doing more with less,” said Sarah Johnson, a nurse at Beaumont Hospital. “Enough is enough, we deserve better and our patients deserve better.”
Johnson has been advocating for nurses who work within the nine Corewell Health East hospitals to be a part of the Teamsters union.
WXYZ“We didn’t just decide to unionize with one hospital. We know for that this company that we’re with, we have to have strength in numbers,” Johnson added.
From November 12 th to the 14 th , more than 9,600 Corewell Health nurses will have the opportunity to vote yes or no to unionizing.
“We’ve been campaigning for a year now so we’re just trying to pump everyone up for this last week,” said Johnson.
