The National Labor Relations Board has stepped into contract negotiations between Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, Wash., and an employee union, requesting the hospital revert to a previous version of a contract to avoid a formal complaint from the NLRB, according to a Puget Sound Business Journal report.
The hospital claims that contract negotiations with Service Employees International Union 1199 have reached an impasse, giving the hospital legal right to implement its contract proposals unilaterally, according to the report.
The NLRB does not believe negotiations have reached an impasse, and has taken the final step of a written request to revert to the previous contract before the board files a formal complaint, according to the report.
