  1. Value Care Value Nurses campaign

    SEIU can't 'call a strike'. Only the members in that chapter can make that decision. I have been an SEIU member for about 15 years and they have been a great help to us. I have never regreted our desision to affiliate with SEIU. As far as I can tell ...
  2. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    My union contract gives RNs with 25 years bargaining senority every weekend off, or the nurse gets paid time and one-half. The majority of these nurses are off. The shifts are covered by nurses working the weekender program so the unit is not short s...
  3. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Thanks spacenurse for posting #121 and adding some clarity to the story. I am still not sure CNA doesn't raid. I am in SEIU in Wi and we are getting mailings from CNA 2-3 times per year offering membership at rock bottom prices.
  4. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Ok this thread has gone in alot of directions but the start was abour unions, in this case the CNA raiding another union. Alot of CNA members have been to this thread, what do you think about it? As I said before I think unions should focus on organi...
  5. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Kevin I think I understand what you want from your posts, which is to not join a union or pay dues or gain anything from a contract. In the US anyone who works at a facility in a job covered by a contract is covered by that contract weather or not th...
  6. Job Interview Monday...Any advice?

    The question I have been most often asked is 'what are your goals?'
  7. what so you think?

    I'm really happy to see and work with young nurses. Yes it does take extra time and some patience but I look at it as an opportunity to help them become a good RN. Most of the ones I have worked with are enthusiastic and interested in learning.
  8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Ok I'm not very good on the computer yet so I don't know how to include a part of a previous posting but in regards to posting # 46. A union is it's members and it sounds like your union needs some new blood. People need to get involved in their unio...
  9. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Maybe she should stick around for awhile and find out the impact. Most likely it will become a better place to work. I don't understand why workers wanting input into pay and working conditions is considered 'radical'. Unions and thier predecesors t...
  10. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Well as ticked off as I am at the CNA for raiding other RN unions,it pales mightly as to how angry California govenor Arnie Schwartzenager makes me! Arnie has got to go! How dare he try to get rid of the State Board Of Nursing !
  11. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    This does not make sense to me. Employees either have to vote, or a majority sign a membership card[and then management must agree to recognize the union based on card signing which is rare] for a union to represent them. Management does not get to...
  12. What nursing shoes do your recommend?

    I wear Crocs, they are incrediably comfortable and as they are plastic [i know sounds weird] easy to clean
  13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    While the CNA has done a lot of great things in California I do not agree with their method of growth by getting members from nurses who are already in a union. There are MANY nurses in the US who want to be in a union and would LOVE to have help org...
  14. New Grad??? Salary??

    Sorry, did not realize I was in a state specific forum. From the pay I'm seeing posted here you would probably all do better if you formed a union.
  15. New Grad??? Salary??

    I'm in Wisconsin and work in a unionized hospital so the pay scale is in our contract. New grads start at $25.95.
