As of 8/08 the union has in its possession sign up cards for
approximately 25% of the Doctors. At least that many have expressed a
desire not to be unionized. The balance have been essentially
disinterested.
While a petition for an election may be an interesting exercise it would,
at this time, be a waste of resources for both the company and the
union absent a core group of leaders within the Doctors de facto
bargaining unit to spearhead the effort. The concern of termination is
palpable, for good reason.
Given that I have examples of doctors that received salary increases for
the first time in years, apparently due to this organizing effort, I will not
discontinue it. I will retain and keep confidential the sign up cards that I
have received and will welcome the receipt of additional ones.
My offer to facilitate any independent movement to organize remains,
and will remain, open indefinitely. I am nothing if not patient.
