Nurse Asks Labor Board to Overturn Decision Indefinitely Blocking Vote to Remove AFSCME Union
November 11, 2026 // Spectrum Health Systems nurse Julie Reno filed a Request for Review with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in Washington, D.C., asking the Board to overturn a Regional Director’s decision holding her petition for a union decertification vote in indefinite “abeyance.” Reno is receiving free legal representation from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys. Reno filed her petition with NLRB Region 1 in Boston in early May, asking for a secret-ballot vote on whether she and her fellow nurses wish to remove AFSCME Local 93 as their monopoly bargaining “representative.” Six months later, no vote has been scheduled, as AFSCME union lawyers and Regional Board officials have provided a series of shifting excuses for not holding the vote.
