For over a year, management at Advocate Health Inc. has been running a union-busting campaign against the company’s Facilities Maintenance workers seeking to organize with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 399.

Since November 2024, Local 399 has filed four unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) due to Advocate’s unlawful behavior, including termination of employees during its ongoing union-busting campaign. The NLRB is currently investigating Advocate's actions.

STOP the following unlawful actions:

• Unlawful discharges
• Illegal interrogations of workers
• Harassment against employees

In March 2025, Advocate Health Care Workers at a Chicago hospital voted to form a union with Local 399, and on September 30, the NLRB officially certified the victory. This is only the beginning: workers are now ready to win a strong first contract. At another hospital, Advocate has delayed recognizing workers’ vote to unionize since November 2024. Instead of coming to the bargaining table, Advocate has ignored these workers as the company continues its union-busting campaign.

To address these unlawful practices at all Advocate locations, we urge you to tell CEO Eugene Woods, Advocate Executives, and Advocate Board Members that you stand with workers and their union! Stop the union-busting, honor election results, and bargain a fair contract in good faith.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL
