The CNA is preventing me from getting an ununionzed position

I am an R.N. who works at TriCity medical center, which became unionized sometime in 2006. Recently, I began searching for another job to supplement my income because the senses in my current place of work has been low leading to a financial hardship on myself.

With that being said I found a job at TriCity Hospice, however I am being told by HR that I cannot accept the position nor be offered the position because the Hospital unit I work on is unionized and the Hospice is not.

Can the CNA prevent me from obtaining a job that is not unionized while I work in a facility that is?

If anyone has any information regarding this matter please respond and if you can provide resources please do so.

I am a bit confused...a CNA, (meaning Certified Nursing Assistant) is keeping you from getting a unionized position? Or does the acronym CNA mean something else? Please clarify...thanks!

In talking of unions the abbreviation CNA refers to California Nurses Asssociation , sometimes you may see it with this format CNA / NNOC ( National Nurses Organizing Committee ).

Greatly appreciated. I thought about it afterwards and thought a similar thing. Thanks for the clarity!:up:
