Philadelphia Union Wins Equal Pay for Immigrant Nurses (http://www.thebellforum.com/2017/05/philadelphia-union-wins-equal-pay-immigrant-nurses)

It started when a few nurses at Temple University Hospital told stewards that they weren’t being paid for their experience.
One of the first to speak up was Jessy Palathinkal, who had become a nurse in India in 1990. She got her U.S. nursing license when she moved here in 1995. But when she started working at Temple, her placement on the pay scale was as though those five years of nursing never happened.
She asked why. Human Resources told her the hospital didn’t count years of experience in foreign countries.
