Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Central Maine Medical Center nurses voted overwhelmingly in favor of unionizing, with 204 voting yes and 21 voting no. The vote, which involved about 300 eligible nurses, secured a 91% victory. The vote followed reports that hospital officials had fired 15 nurses and suspended five others. The hospital's parent company, Prime Healthcare, stated the discipline was due to code of conduct violations.
