The Labor Unit of Nurses and Health Employees (Spanish: Unidad Laboral de Enfermeras(os), y Empleados de la Salud, ULEES) is a trade union of nurses and healthcare workers in Puerto Rico.
History
[edit | edit source]ULEES was founded in 1974.[1] For a long time, the union was led by Radamés Quiñones Aponte.[2]
In 2010, ULEES led a picket line outside a hospital in Ponce, calling for a new collective bargaining agreement.[3]
In 2020, ULEES called on the Puerto Rican government to investigate allegations that healthcare workers were prioritising friends and administration staff for COVID-19 vaccination.[4] In the next year, the union alleged that some hospitals made healthcare workers come in for work even while they were sick with Covid.[5]
