A Service Employee International Union representative met with employees at Sunbury (Pa.) Community Hospital, owned by Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems, last week to discuss the possibility of unionizing, according to a report from The Daily Item.
The union representative told The Daily Item "there is interest in organizing" at 118-bed Sunbury Community Hospital. If 30 percent of employees express interest in joining a union, a vote would be held to gauge the staff's feelings on organizing, according to the report.
A call to the hospital's public relations department for comment was not returned.
