Catholic nursing home will stop violating workers’ rights Maryville Nursing Home in Beaver- ton has agreed to a settlement in a series of charges brought by The National La- bor Relations Board (NLRB) for viola- tions of federal labor law during a union organizing campaign by Service Em- ployees Local 503. Maryville is owned by the Sisters of Saint Mary of Oregon. The settlement resolves 11 counts of illegal behavior detailed in a 12-page complaint issued by the NLRB on April 20. The charges included threatening employees with termination if they sup- ported the union, engaging in surveil- lance of employees’union activities and disciplining employees in retaliation for their union activity. Union representative Penny Ruff said workers were surprised by the aggres- sive tactics used by their employer — a Catholic nursing home that promotes its religious mission and values. Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, local legislators and even local Catholic priests contacted facility management to urge them to respect workers’ rights to form a union. Despite the pleas, the em- ployer’s behavior was so egregious, Ruff said, that the NLRB postponed a union vote scheduled for Dec. 1, 2006, con- cluding that Maryville’s behavior had poisoned the atmosphere so badly that a fair election was impossible. Ruff said the settlement will allow employees to proceed with a union elec- tion at the nursing home. JUNE 1, 2007
