Why don't your hospital be the first, and show the rest how it can help.

Call the NNOC, and get started tomorrow. You have nothing to lost but more pay.

The hospital is crazy scared to have a union. They have had anti-union speakers hold MANDATORY meetings.

A few of us failed at holding back our chuckles or snorts listening to their passive aggressive way of telling us if we supported a union coming in, our jobs would be "at risk".

Policies changed, such as no more fundraisers for anything, unless the items were NOT FOR SALE, donations only.

Some thing about actually selling items gives union reps the right to come in advertise union benefits.

Ever heard of that happening ^^^?? Because I didn't, until it did.

Don't believe a word they say. They will lie like the dickens to scare you into not unionizing. Don't fall for it. Just DO IT!

Nothing will change for the better until you organize with NNOC. You will not regret it.

Call NNOC first thing tomorrow morning and start a union drive.

They cannot fire you or threaten you. I suggest, at the next anti union meeting someone use their cell phone and record the meeting.

Then call the National Labor Board, and report them

GO FOR IT!! DON'T BACK DOWN, OR LET THE, "MARTYR MARYS", TALK YOU OUT OF IT!

NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL YOU UNIONIZE AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR WORKPLACE!

DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR LIES FOR A MINUTE!

THE HARD SELL CAMPAIGN WILL NOW GO INTO FULL FORCE BY THE HOSPITAL. THEY WILL THREATEN YOU, LIE TO THEIR TEETH, TO BRAINWASH YOU INTO NOT UNIONIZING !

THEY WILL START TO MAKE YOU GO TO MEETINGS, WHERE THEY WILL TRY TO TALK YOU OUT OF ORGANIZING.

REMEMBER, THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING, AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS!!

STAND STRONG AGAINST THEIR LIES!!

I love being part of my union. I pay$18/week and recieve amazing health benefits (almost no copays, dental including braces,vision, dermatology,chiropracture) they provide/pay for child care, pay up to $5000/year in tution assistance, ect this all comes with job security and representation.

I have to say this is a pretty sick deal. I can't imagine an.employer with no union offering or providing those benefits.

You are 100 percent right. Orlando Health supervisors are confiscating and destroying the reading materials, they are telling security to spy on the nurses and report their conversations. They even told the environmental staff that they would be fired if they even speak of a union, which is illegal for them to do. A nurse recently overheard an administrator telling HR employees that the nurses were a bunch of mutts and were to stupid to organize. The attempt to brainwash never stops with endless meetings every other day. The managers are also trying to act like they are your best friend just so they can get information to report back to their superiors. Its disgusting to see what they are trying to get away with. The nurses are fighting back hard and not giving up. Thankfully the media is now smelling the stink the Orlando Health administrators are letting off.

All I can say is wow...however I am not surprised the administration/managers are behaving this way and trust me HR is in bed with them to "get rid" of the malcontents.

I wish those nurses down there all the best in the worls I hope they Unionize.....once they do it will start a trend that will better the working conditions down there.
