Seven Mountains AFL-CIO

Local Chapter of the Central Pennsylvania Labor Federation, representing working families in Centre, Huntingdon, Mifflin, and Juniata counties. An injury to one is an injury to all.

Our statement on the Hospital Authority hearing on bond financing for Mount Nittany Medical Center. During the meeting, Seven Mountains representatives confirmed for the first time that the worker that fell last year on the hospital tower project died of his injuries.

Our Chapter is concerned with the manner of the Centre County Hospital
Authority's meeting. As a public authority, they are bound to comply with Pennsylvania Sunshine Law. Their lack of proper notice, lack of answers as to who convened the meeting and paid for private meeting space, and their move to approve a waiver of conflict of interest and retain Philadelphia-based labor counsel utilized by Mount Nittany Medical Center deserves the utmost scrutiny.
PRESIDENT LEWIS, SEVEN MOUNTAINS AFL -CIOUnacknowledged worker deaths, community outery over worker treatment, alleged violations of federal laws such as the National Labor Relations Act, and pervasive lack of fiscal transparency raise serious questions regarding the credibility and capability of Mount Nittany Medical Center's executive management team.
They must take tangible steps to restore community trust, beginning with negotiating a fair contract with local healthcare workers.

Our Chapter was proud to stand with grad workers organizing with @uaw.org as they picketed on May Day for their right to a union election. Penn State needs to drop their objections and stall tactics and let graduate workers exercise their democratic right to form and join a union.

Our statement on Donald Trump's March 27 declaration of war on the American labor movement. "This is the moment in which we must decide which side we are on: the American working class, or corporate cronies and the ruling elite."
