Some union employees of Forum Health are objecting to executive bonuses at the health care system.

A representative for SEIU Local 1199, says that during negotiations on Monday night, the union offered to take another $2 million in cuts.  However, union members say they strongly disagree with retention bonuses that range from $20 to $50 thousand.  The union says executives should share in the same sacrifices made by other employees.

So far, there's been no reply from Forum Health CEO Walter Pishkur on the matter.  The company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year.
