an article about the upcoming seiu and chp union vote.
[color=firebrick]because chp rns deserve a professional union...
[color=firebrick]chp's scheme to force you into the service employees union:
protect the rights of rns!
chp has adopted a strategy to silence rns and deny you a democratic choice. chp has signed an illegal back room deal with the service employees union (seiu) intended to force rns into this non-rn union.
the elections scheduled for march 12-14 will not give you a choice of a professional nurses union. the largest professional nurses union in the country, the national nurses organizing committee (nnoc) ohio, afl-cio is not on the ballot.
the only union chp is letting you vote for is the union hand-picked by catholic healthcare partners, the non-rn service employees union. millions of ohioans had a choice of presidential candidates to vote for
on march 4.
why shouldn't ohio rns have a choice of which union you want to represent you?
chp rns deserve a real choice.
chp rns deserve to decide for yourselves what union you want to represent you, not have your union hand-picked by your employer. why should the hospital choose your union?
chp rns deserve to be part of a professional rn union, not a service employees union.
the nnoc is the largest professional nurses union in the country, with 80,000 rns in 50 states including ohio, with rn contracts that include the highest rn salaries and best staffing protections in the nation. nnoc won the nation's first rn-to-patient safe staffing ratios in california.
vote "no" so you can have a choice.
because there will not be a choice on the ballot march 12-14, rns should vote "no" to protect your right to choose a professional nurses union like the nnoc-ohio.
vote "no" to a union picked by management, not rns.
vote "no" to protect the rights of rns.
vote "no" to an inferior union contract that sells out rns.
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 money and in the end how many of the "raids" actually yield success and contracts? It's despicable and truly represents unprofessional behavior. Why not build industry power-the CNA's goal is actually aligned with management's goals - to maintain a union free environment-as the end result of shipping staff all over the country to harras and interfere with current members bargaining process and prospective members organizing committees is just pouring CNA members dues money down the drain.
Not to mention it does nothing to raise the standard of living for RN's and other healthcare workers.
