Labor disputes continue at 2 NJ hospitals

BAYONNE, N.J. /*Bayonne Medical Center*/ spokeswoman Allyson Miller says the 278-bed facility barred 750 members of Local 5185 of the Union of Health Professionals and Allied Employees on Tuesday.

The hospital brought in temporary workers after the union failed to meet a Sunday deadline for withdrawing a strike notice.

/*Englewood Hospital and Medical Center*/ pursued a similar strategy when contract talks broke down on June 3. Temporary workers remain on the job and 650 unionized employees find themselves locked out.

Recent hospital closings in the state have idled nurses in a health care industry where they've long been in demand.
