Nurses at Texas Catholic Hospitals Vote for Union Representation

In an election held December 9th and 10th, registered nurses at St. Joseph Health in Texas’s Brazos Valley voted to join National Nurses United. The union reports that it will now represent “some 750 registered nurses who are part of St. Joseph Health Regional, with hospitals in Bryan and College Station, and three critical access facilities: St. Joseph Health Burleson Hospital in Caldwell, St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital in Navasota, and St. Joseph Health Madison Hospital in Madisonville.”

Congratulations to the nurses on their win! We pray that the hospitals, part of the CommonSpirit network, and the nurses quickly reach agreement on a first contract.
