CHICAGO NURSES FILE FOR ELECTION TO JOIN TEAMSTERS

Endeavor Health Nurses, Teamsters to Hold Press Conference

CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nurses at Endeavor Health will hold a press conference on Friday, Oct. 23, at 10:30 a.m. to announce they have filed for their union election to join Teamsters Local 743. The group of over 2,000 nurses is fighting for a voice in the decisions affecting their workplace, including patient and staff safety.

In the last few months, Endeavor Health has engaged in numerous union-busting tactics, including unlawfully terminating two nurses at Evanston Hospital in retaliation for their union activity. Hospital management has also engaged in surveillance, coercion, and interrogation tactics in an effort to discourage nurses from joining or supporting the union.

The Teamsters are calling on hospital management to stop interfering in the organizing effort and respect workers' legal right to unionize.
