Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center workers say facility tried to keep them from expressing concerns about possible patient infections and unsafe working conditions, according to an article on the Los Angeles Times website.
The healthcare facility leadership asked them to sign confidentiality agreements, the workers said.
The hospital had requested interviews with the workers after they spoke to the media about their fears that patients were being sickened by dirty conditions that management had ignored.
A union trying to organize the hospital’s workers filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board last week, saying management was breaking federal law by trying to stop the workers from talking about potentially dangerous conditions.
