MIAMI—Some 250 hospital workers, nurses, and their supporters held a spirited march and rally in Miami June 5 protesting Pan-American Hospital’s refusal to recognize their union—the Service Employees International Union—and to bargain for a contract. The marchers also demanded the reinstatement of nine workers who have been fired for their union activity. Hospital workers and nurses at Pan-American voted by a 9-1 margin earlier this year to be organized by the SEIU. —NORTON SANDLER
