  1. I believe that was the purpose of my second post in response to yours. I saw the possibly confusing nature of my first post and replied that it was just that-my opinion. However, I did start the first by saying "I think..." certainly that should impl...
  2. Just my opinion-and you probably know the old joke about opinions (it's not appropriate for this forum!); I am not part of the negotiation team so what I said is just that, an opinion, acurate or not. Regardless of what I posted everyone needs to vot...
  3. I think at this point BOTH sides, hospital administration and our union leadership are thinking the same thing: we're (the nurses) tired, fed up and reaching the point of not caring anymore. The hospital is banking on us either voting the contract in...
  4. We'll have to wait until Sunday at the info sessions to get all the information, however, I don't think there is anything else they can tell us. It looks like this is, again, the final offer. Are the changes significant? The only thing new from the p...
  5. Update 9/13: Looks like it might be over soon; there will be a vote on a new contract Sunday. The website explains all the changes we will vote on: http://usw4-200.org/strike913.htm
  6. No has asked for or would ever expect free healthcare. Our biggest complaint is the penalties for out-of-network and the increasing difficulty to find in-network doctors within a reasonable timeframe. Ignorance is the disease....researching all of t...

  8. Again, there is more to the issue than the choice of hospital. An increasing number of doctors at RWJ are dropping their acceptance of the current plans due to difficulties in receiving or decreases in reimbursements. Nurses have been denied coverage...
  9. Again....read all posts; I've tried to update with the facts of the matter on a regular basis. Check the website. Part of the reason is the hospital's refusal to talk, to bargain in good faith. great Wilfred Owen quote by the way!
  10. There is a whole lot more to the issue than what you have simplified it to ZASHAGALKA. If you read all the posts and even check out our union website you'll get the entirety of the situation rather than call our valid reasons silly.
  11. yes, fedup, you got it! the figures were inflated and reported by the hospital to smokescreen the issue of our wanting a better healthcare package. this article acurately adresses the salary issue as well as the amount of money they are paying the sc...
  12. "We are always ready to sit and listen to what the union has to say," said John Patella, the hospital's spokesman. "We've offered them a great deal that keeps them as some of the best-paid nurses in the state and an excellent health plan. We hope the...
  13. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    Understand the facts prior to the strike: During the weeks prior to our initial intent to strike we had several meetings in order to come to a resolution; in all cases the hospital refused to talk. The only response they had was that their offer was ...

    the tone of these posts have turned decidedly confrontational. please, lets all remain civil while exercising our right of free speech.
  15. Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    Administration is completely to blame for the current situation. They pushed us to a strike thinking that we would not remain united and instead, accept the healthcare plan as poor as it was. During the last couple of meetings between the hospital an...
