NEW MILFORD — The National Labor Board decided Wednesday to combine New Milford Hospital technicians with Danbury Hospital LPNs/Technicians for the purpose of creating their own bargaining group.
The licensed practical nurses and technicians at Danbury Hospital started organizing last year. AFT CT was not planning on organizing the New Milford technicians at this time, waiting for the technicians to approach the labor organization themselves, according to JoAnn Chapin, president of the New Milford Nurses Union.
The National Labor Board’s decision now makes that point mute.
