This is a good example why division among nursing unions only benefits hospital adminstration.
See my post:
Unite nurses don't divide us
Actually the nurses of St Agnes Medical Center in Fresno California chose to keep the strong voices they already had. These nurses banded together with that strong voice to help educate each other on the consequences of unionizing. The grassroots group of nurses first educated themselves, then they passed that knowledge to the entire hospital staff.
Once the staff learned more about the California Nurses Association and other unions (SEIU included) the decision not to unionize was easy and their voices were heard loud and clear. I was there and I saw how they banded together not only nurses but hospital staff from every department and specialty. Instead of dividing and conquering as the unions choose to do, this group is bringing everyone together as a team.
I am proud my website helped them out and I was excited when they invited me to attend their rally. It was awesome! A great bunch of people and a great hospital.
