Saint Agnes Medical Center Fresno California says "GO AWAY CNA"

Best Wishes to all the nurses who KNOW they already have a voice! Fight the good fight!!

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.....

Taking a political stance based on the votes of the members does not bind the conscience of the individuals. Those individuals who oppose abortion rights are free to work for change within the political process both within their union and through direct contact with their legislators. Of course protection for children should not stop at birth. Unions and their members also work to advance the interests of children and families through work for good schools, affordable health care, safe food and drink etc.

Strangely enough those who oppose the labor movement have often received direct benefit from the legal protections won through political advocacy. For example, ADA, FMLA, sick leave, the right to vacations, time and a half for OT etc. The labor movement has worked for these changes to benefit all workers not just their members. Claiming that union members are not compassionate and sensitive to the needs of others is just not borne out by the evidence.

America benefits from a strong labor movement!

In Solidarity............

Sherwood,

Saint Agnes remains union-free. On March 9, 2009, CNA withdrew its petition for a rerun election. Not much of a track record in recent months.

In Fresno alone, nurses booted CNA at Community. Now the union walks away from Saint Agnes. Makes you wonder how much longer Central Valley organizer Don N. is going to have a job.

Up and down CA, CNA has had a terrible time:

*Terminated by the nurses at Scripps
*Walked away from losing an election at Inland Valley

CA RNs are fed-up with the union, its antics and taking CA nurses money to organize nurses around the country.

If only nurses in Arizona, Nevada and Texas knew that this union doesn't live up to its promises.

This is the other side of the story...... http://www.calnurses.org/media-cente...e-march-4.html

Well that's just like CNA to misrepresent the truth! yes, they probably did get cards signed prior to the election. Maybe even 60%. But, when the nurses were educated by their PEERS about what the union really spends dues money on and their Anti Catholic agenda, THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS!! Which was apparrent by the VOTE!!! EFCA is the biggest assault on America ever! The secret ballot is a main stay of American culture and should be preserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I pull your chain......or the truth hurts Nancy ?

What’s wrong with the current law?

The National Labor Relations Act states: “Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations….” It was designed to protect employee choice on whether to form unions, but it has been turned upside down.

The current system is not like any democratic election held anywhere else in our society.

Employers have turned the NLRB election process into management-controlled balloting—the employer has all the power, controls the information workers can receive and routinely poisons the process by intimidating, harassing, coercing and firing people who try to organize unions.

On top of that, the law’s penalties are so insignificant that many companies treat them as just another cost of doing business.
By the time employees vote in an NLRB election, if they can get to that point, a free and fair choice isn’t an option. ...
