Yale - New Haven Hospital settles once again with the National Labor Relations Board for violating the rights of its workers:

Under an agreement with the National Labor Relations Board, Yale-New Haven Hospital has posted notices promising not to interfere with unionizing work at the hospital by threatening or intimidating its workers. Jonathan B. Kreisberg, NLRB acting regional director in Hartford, said the notices must stay up for 60 days...The Service Employees International and the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees unions failed to get the NLRB board to agree to an "affirmative access remedy" to their complaints. That would have mandated union access, for a specified period, to the hospital’s atrium and conference room areas that other organizations were afforded when the union complaints were made...The hospital has promised not to arrest Local 34 members who work at the hospital for distributing union literature to other members, it cannot deny off-duty employees access to its outside nonworking areas, and it must allow workers to wear union insignia. It also cannot "verbally or physically threaten" workersfor engaging in protected union organizing. The Hartford office of NLRB, in a December 2003 ruling, found that the hospital had engaged in these activities.
