Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, David, Barron

•The language of this rule is strongly biased towards union organizing efforts •Minimal information is provided to employees about their rights not to join or to decertify an existing union. Employees should be able to have the freedom not to have the unions "in their face" •This rule does not offer a description of unfair, unlawful or coercive union practices that employees should be alerted to •This rule informs employees that are likely to support a union of their “rights” and does nothing to inform employees who oppose unionization -- not balanced at all •This rule does not inform employees of the rights they may lose through unionization and the collective bargaining process (such as wages and benefits) And in the case of Healthcare - because of the continued cuts in Medicare and Medicaid programs jobs will be lost to maintain budgets •The language in this rule is biased in characterizing that “It is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining”
