MORE
Registered Nurses at Detroit Medical Center formed the DMC Nurses Organizing Committee for Change in February 2007 in response to continuing adverse working conditions that, in turn, affect quality patient care. Since that time, the DMC CEO Mike Duggan and his management team have continued to ignore these vital issues while actively engaging in an anti-union misinformation campaign, utilizing public funds.
