Google links aren't answers to my questions, herring RN. If you had any firsthand knowledge of the Sutter situation you wouldn't need to do a Google search. You could simply share your experience.

Either you're a Sutter nurse who went out on strike or you're not.

If you're a Sutter nurse who went out on strike please tell me how the strike turned out for you--what did you gain; what did you lose; do you have a contract now; if you don't have a contract are you close to getting one?

If you're not a Sutter nurse who participated in the Sutter strike then you're not someone who can answer my questions.

I am sorry.

Are you a nurse?

I asked because the terma of service require members to only use nurse, LPN, RN and such in user name if they hold that license.
But many don't include it.

I was hoping some of the Sutter nurses statements in the videos could help a bit.

Colfax,

The bottom line is that it is not dishonest to share information about strikes that are gained from participation in local business meetings. Organizers quite often have an intimate awareness about the causes of a walkout through their work in the union.

Herring answered your questions respectfully with sourceable and accessible links to answer your questions.

If you want to have a discussion about issues I think you will get farther in expressing your viewpoint by being respectful. My take is that you were trying to pick a fight with posters who were trying to answer your questions with information that you could evaluate.

Or do you only compose long, detailed, slanderous threads about the deplorable working conditions at places where you've never worked?

This quote verges on namecalling which just isn't cricket on a bulletin board dedicated to respectful open debate between professionals. I encourage you to think carefully about how you phrase your responses in the future.

HM2Viking,

I apologize for my harsh tone. The Sutter strike evokes strong feelings on both sides. I'll take a timeout from this thread and maybe we'll have a calmer discussion of these issues in the future.
