Snow Nurse Wins Job Back

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Geri Lee (r), the longtime Washington Hospital Center nurse fired earlier this year (Nurses Prepared For Battle At Washington Hospital Center), has won her job back. The National Nurses Union (NNU) reported last night that arbitrator Roger P. Kaplan had found that the Washington Hospital Center “terminated Geraldine Lee without just cause” and ordered her reinstated with back pay. “We all look forward to seeing Geri Lee back on the job later this week,” NNU’s Stephen Frum told Union City. “The Union will continue to pursue justice for the other nurses unjustly fired and disciplined for absence during the snow storms.  Together we win!” - photo by Linda Davidson/The Washington Post
