Nurses and KSB settle breach of contract suit
Lee County Circuit Court Judge Tomas Magdich approved an out of court settlement between KSB Hospital and 19 nurses who sued after 28 nurses were dismissed in June 1985 during a hospital reorganization. The 1985 terminations were said to reflect department mergers rather than a traditional layoff, and none of the 19 were rehired. The suit, led by Carol O'Dell and others, claimed seniority principles from a 1982 agreement guided layoff decisions.
