NNOC is and has been organizing nurses in Ohio since 2004. We are preparing to introduce ratio legislation. There are metro committees throughout the state. See my other post about some highlights of NNOC Ohio over the past few years. This list is not all inclusive.

The California Nurses Association, an RN craft union, came to Ohio and ran a straight-up VOTE NO campaign. When workers said they were not RNs, CNA organizers said, "we're also asking you to VOTE NO."

I was present to hear and witness what the CNA did to workers in Ohio. In their literature, they demeaned and insulted non-RN staff, and the idea that RNs should unite together with other hospital staff. I have been working with CHP employees for three years. They are the most courageous people I know, and deserve better than to have their hopes attacked by a so-called union.

RNs in our union have always stood together with other hospital employees. just ask the nurses at CHP's hospital in Lorain, Ohio who organized with SEIU several years ago, and who have been overwhelmingly supportive of the long organizing drive across the CHP system.

The California Nurses Association betrayed and insulted Ohio workers and trade union values. Their shame is a disgrace to the movement, and their despicable behavior is an impediment to building workers' organizations, to change this country.

I would put out a plea, that members of the California Nurses Association demand their leadership stop using your dues money to attack workers here in Ohio. Hospital workers in the US are less than 14% organized, so there are plenty of places your money could be used in a positive way, to help local organizing drives instead of bullying non-RNs, and RNs trying to organize with other unions.

RN Power Ohio, just to be clear, the CNA does not represent a single worker in the state of Ohio.

Anyway, aren't you that "nurse" who came down from the Cleveland law firm you work at to help the CNA bust the union - masquerading as a hospital RN. Get real!

Your statements are totally off base. Do you really believe anything you say? Shame on you!

A secret ballot election is a democratic ideal. You CNA people are so upset just because you weren't on the ballot. Well, you didn't campaign. Are you planning to disrupt the presidential election because you suddenly noticed your name isn't on the ticket???

I am so disgusted by what you have done, what you have taken away from thousands of workers who have fought so long.

You are a disgrace to the movement.
