Local Red Cross workers unionize

Contract talks are expected to begin soon between the Columbus chapter of the American Red Cross and its local blood-collection workers.  More than 200 people who work on blood drives voted this week to unionize in an effort to have uniform salary scales and work rules. Red Cross officials say they hope to have a contract in place within a few months.
