Scenario: Prospect Hospital (PH) has had a busy week. The hospital has just been unionized. Four cafeteria employees who were involved in the unionization were dismissed 2 hours before the union was voted in and the former employees filed a charge with the regional labor relations office two weeks later. The company’s CEO has received a charge of discrimination and harassment regarding a female veteran who was interviewed but not hired for an insurance coordinator position two days prior to unionization. The veteran claims the interviewer was making unseemly gestures towards her during the interview. The HR department at PH is now tasked with hiring 100 more lab technicians, nurses, and surgeons.
