Nurses Demand Recognition, Workplace Safety, End to Union Busting

DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, August 20, nurses at UnityPoint Health will hold a press conference outside the Iowa Methodist Medical Center to demand that their employer recognize Teamsters Local 90 as their exclusive bargaining unit representative and ask that their employer stop interfering with their right to unionize. Rather than investing in patient care and employee safety, the multibillion-dollar health care giant has spent more than $2.8 million on union busters.

Nurses will be joined by Local 90 leadership, community allies, and supporters to deliver a clear message: they won't be silenced or intimidated by UnityPoint's efforts to stop them from forming their union.

WHEN:

Wednesday, August 20


11 a.m. - 12 p.m. 



WHO:

UnityPoint nurses


Alano De La Rosa, Teamsters Local 90


Jennifer Konfrst, Iowa State Representative


Stephanie Steiner, Democratic candidate for Congress


Frank Cordaro, Des Moines Catholic Worker


Jenny Turner, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement



WHERE:

Iowa Methodist Medical Center
