Before the City will deal reasonably, YNH must prostrate itself to the Union's agenda! The City wants YNH to recognize the Union without an NLRB supervised election! That's the real bottom line!

There is no such problem with Becker. Unions are in the deal, so the City is agreeing to every Becker demand, ladeling profits for the unions into the calculations and ignoring sensible planning as well as taxpayer effect.

Saw this coming!! The Mayor's Vendetta. Sounds like a reality show, and that's just what it is. The drama continues, and Mayor John gets the Academy Award. Well at least he wins a vote for something.

The question I have is, who the heck would want to live around a parking garage? Where would the kids play on Level One?

How many more agreements is the Hospital going to renege on? And how is the city going to hold them accountable for the promises they have broken?

Your Tax Dollars at Work: You hit the nail right on the head!!! The Union knows that they didn't have the majority vote to get into YNHH. Now they are trying to force themselves in. The one thing the Union can't do is take away employee rights. I am a YNHH employee. We will fight if they think they can force themselves in. Now if they would like to treat the employees like respectful working people and not slaves (one who is completely subservient to a dominating influence), we will be more than happy to take part in a supervised NLRB vote. What the Union seems to forget is, without YNHH employees, YNHH would not be. So our voices are a lot stronger than the City, the Hospital, and most of all the Union's. Let's get the vote over with.

Former Graces: The City needs to start taking care of the people who live there. New Haven has become the toilet bowl of CT. The City gets paid millions and millions of dollars from YNHH. Where is the money going to? It seems to me that YNHH should be holding the City accountable for something. If I lived in the inner city of New Haven and paid taxes to New Haven, I would be real upset with the way things are. Morris Cove area of New Haven looks the same as it did years ago. It's clean and safe. Why is that? The inner city is neglected and that is not YNHH's fault. People need to stop holding YNHH accountable for the state the city is in. The Mayor tries to take the focus off where the focus needs to be. THE PEOPLE!!!! Not his own agenda.
