COLORADO SPRINGS — Medical providers for Peak Vista Community Health Centers in Colorado Springs have filed the paperwork to unionize.
That union has also filed a labor charge against Peak Vista, claiming it fired or retaliated against at least six employees.
News5 learned one of those let go was a long-time pediatrician. We spoke with Diana Whyman, a mom who had been taking her children there for years.

"I think that they need to figure out what's most important, and taking care of their patients I think should be the most important which means retaining good doctors," said Whyman.
The union claim is they were forced to increase the number of patients they saw per day and decrease the time spent with them.
