## Resource

Nurses at St. Mary's Hospital in Madison are alleging widespread union busting activity in the workplace, just days after they filed paperwork to hold a union election. A total of 870 nurses signed on, fed up with staffing and retention issues at the hospital. Annie Klauer and Sable Dobbie, two nurses at St. Mary’s, joined our News Producer Faye Parks this afternoon to share their stories – and explain how they’re keeping the campaign alive despite the pressure.
