HCA Healthcare union nurses rally for better pay, treatment
HCA Healthcare nurses from across the Southeast United States gathered Thursday afternoon in Tampa, rallying for what they call "fair contracts" and improved resources.
The HCA Healthcare registered nurses in attendance are part of two unions: The National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC) and The National Nurses United (NNU). They gathered outside the West Florida HCA Headquarters to raise their concerns ahead of the 2024 contract negotiations.
Nurse Hannah Drummond said, "Our work environment directly impacts the health and well-being of our communities. Every single nurse here today got into healthcare to help people and help them heal, and we have to be adequately resourced to be able to do that effectively."
Drummond and the other nurses accuse HCA of putting profits ahead of its patients.
"They've manufactured a crisis where they intentionally short-staffed us to line their pockets with money and protect their shareholders while we watch our patients suffer," Drummond said.
