Howdy folks! I'm a newbie here and I look forward to learning from this BB often. I'm a surgical tele nurse 2 years out of school and I work at the largest Catholic hospital "chain" in Illinois. We have begun the long, slow work of organizing a union at all 8 of our hospitals and the administration is turning up the heat on their anti-unionization campaign. They have a high powered (high priced) consulting firm spreading the poop and this week have brought in a nurse from out of state who claims to have had bad experiences with unionizing and striking at a local hospital over ten years ago.
I guess what I'm aking for is some support, some info, and your experiences as well. We need more ammo to combat the administration as they won't allow us to openly bring our message to our co-workers. Let me know what you can contribute, thanks so much, Bill.
