Why didn't I need a union??? Because I wouldn't want to keep working for an employer who would treat their employees that way. I don't want some entity to come in and "try" to force their cooperation especially if I'm having to pay for the service. I...
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...

So in 15yrs your organization has managed to unionize 5% of RNs and this membership has quadrupled in that time? Fabulous! So in another 15yrs you might actually have 10% of us unionized? Your numbers definitely show that nurses are indeed excited ab...
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...
As usual, the cna is again about to have their nurses at the childrens hospital in Oakland walk out and abandon patients over an increase in insurance premiums! The nurses at this particular hospital make an average of $136,000 yearly with 85% of the...
