   Nurses that, "cast off the yoke of unionization", are no longer nurses. They were long ago let go from the hospitals where they work. Lindarn, No, these nurses are now in RTW states where they dont have to worry about such bs as unions.

   The option of moving jobs is always there. One does what one has to in order to care for theirselves and family. I wouldn't hesitate to leave a hospital like the one in the article. How much was their pay cut? How much had the union inflated their pa...

    Kuryakyn replied to Kuryakyn's topic in Union

    Union sympathizers would have you think that no self respecting RN would avoid a union, but that's not the facts! They want you to believe that other interests are coming here to express their views, sorry but that's total BS. If nurses thought being...
