Summary:  Our local hospital workers here in Las Vegas, NM have voted to have union representation (District 1199 NM), but the hospital's management refuses to acknowledge the union. Nurses and union organizers talk about their union struggle against the private, for-profit Tennessee corporation that now owns our local hospital.
