  1. Nurses crossing picket lines

  2. florida unionized?? can it work?

    I have to disagree with you. I worked for SEIU for 7 years and we always had the members involved every step of the way. I am now a nurse and a shop steward and on the bargaining team. We move with the members. If members don't get involved then they...
  3. The fact that I new I would make over $100,000 a year my 1st year out of school gave me the motivation to figure out how to make it through at any cost. I actually got flunked out of Ob/Peds along with 3 other students and 2 of us fought back and won...
  4. florida unionized?? can it work?

    I used to work in Florida. It always baffles me why it has taken so long for nurses down there to organize GO SEIU!! They rocked at Miami Dade. Organizing is tough down there. Still lots of good ole boys and people who feel they deserve to live in s...

    To Be A Scab Or Not Just think-it's your mother in the hospital and instead of the experienced nurse taking care of her it's a nurse manager who hasn't seen the inside if the Pyxis in years and she's about to give Lovenox to your sweet, but very ill ...
  6. Unite nurses, don't divide us

    Why are you as nurses allowing the boss to violate your contract? There are several worksite actions that nurses can do in addition to filing grievances? Who are your stewards? What are they doing? Your union dues are a tax write off by the way. Las...

    So who wins when unions fight? The Boss Who wins when 1 union unilateral declares themselves the "only" union for nurse? The BOSS Who wins when union members support their dues money (was there a vote on this) to wage campaigns with already organized...
  8. Need Union Advice:

    1: All union contracts should be negotiated by an bargaining team elected by the membership. 2: Bargaining surveys need to be distributed to all members and tallied to get a feel for what the members want want to achieve in bargaining their next cont...
  9. Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    I am in a very unique position because I was a healthcare union organizer for 7 years before deciding conditions, pay, benefits, and job security had evolved in healthcare enough for me to become an RN. It's interesting that so many people become fo...

  11. Attention CHP Ohio RN's

    Why aren't CNA members demanding that there dues be spent on organizing non-union members rather than carpetbagging on the work of SEIU members and member resources? Chasing SEIU campaigns around the country is an utter waste of CNA members dues mone...

  13. My advice as a career switcher is to forego the BA for now, get your LVN if you are for sure going to be on a waiting list for 1-2 yrs. That way you can work registry or for a great employer like Kaiser who offers to pay for your education and gives ...
  14. I worked as a grassroots campaigner for the Human Rights Campaign and other civil rights work, esp for Gay/Lesbian/Transgender rights, then several years as a union organizer for Service Employees Int Union-helping healthcare workers form unions. Fro...
  15. Go health care workers! I admire and encourage all healthcare workers to stand up for themselves and their patients. All the rest---well hey there are Codependant Anonymous meetings for you. Striking is always a last resort and something that is nev...
