SPOTLIGHT: Union looks to Boston hospitals


A chapter of Service Employees International specializing in hospitals has announced plans to organize workers in the Boston area. The New York-based labor organization, which already represents 250,000 healthcare workers at 76 hospitals on the east coast, is not revealing much about its plans. The Boston Globe, however, reports that "likely targets" are Mass General, Beth Israel Deaconess, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Tufts New England Medical Center and Children's Hospital Boston. Story
