    The California Nurses Association can place its record of campaign wins against any of the other big-time players on the left. But watching its lobbyists work the Capitol halls, I'm left to wonder which side they're on.
    At a time when unions are on the decline, the California Nurses Association has had undeniable successes, doubling its size in a 10-year period to 86,000 members and doubling assets to $70 million in the past five years, its latest report to the U.S. Department of Labor shows.

    Interesting article and if accurate, certainly calls into question the motivation of the CA nurses union in some limited areas. My worry is that anti-union elements, which appear to be growing and were certainly bolstered by recent events in Wisconsin, will now get a ton of PAC-type money to spin this in a way that casts the CA union and all RN's in the state, in a very negative light. With unlimited - and anonymous - funding now the law of the land, I think all unions need to be concerned and need to make certain that union and public interests are 100% aligned. Even a little blood in the water can whip the sharks up into a frenzy.
