For Clare Duffus, who has been a postpartum nurse at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Magee-Womens Hospital for the past four years, joining a union was a no-brainer.
She shared with The Keystone that caring for her patients and getting them better treatment was one of her main reasons for supporting the union.
Duffus and hundreds of her other colleagues will be joining the Service Employees International Union Healthcare Pennsylvania (SEIU HCPA) after they voted 402 to 305 in favor of the union last week.
