We need representation.

Please help in answering a quick poll.

1. I dont think there are any Nursing Unions organized in Alabama. Correct me if I am wrong. If there are unions, where?
2. If you are an RN in the Birmingham, AL region would you join/support a nurses union.
3. Would you, as an RN, not be willing to join a Union for fear of employer retaliation?
Any input is appreciated.[/
I am a Samford/UAB grad, worked in 3 Birmingham hospitals. I think CNA/NNOC (who I suspect is represented in this thread somewhere) will successfully organize a Birmingham hospital when
hell freezes over...jeez- it's come down to places like Fort Smith and Birmingham now. Surely there aren't any unhappy, underpaid, no-voice-having, no-dues-paying California nurses left, right?
Just a thought, but a coherent post might stimulate some discussion.
