{"value"=>"The Union Organizing Committee developed in 1993 from the Staff Caucus and attempted to organize under Local 1199 United Healthcare Workers. The Committee sought to strengthen the job security, bargaining strength, and voice of the staff. Issues of racism, job security, and the attitude of the management towards the Staff Caucus led to this unionization attempt. The unionization vote was held on February 4, 1994, resulted in a split decision, and the staff did join Local 1199."}
