CNA delays Decertification Election for IVMC

Published

California Nurses Association is delaying a long awaited re run election for Inland Valley Medical Center RNs. In October of 2006 the nurses at Inland Valley voted to no longer be represented by the CNA after they were unable to negotiate a contract for almost 2 years. After that election the CNA filed objections to the election and a new election was to be set after the Hospital posted a "notice" written by the NLRB for a period of 60 days. Those 60 days were to be over on July 7. At the last minute the union complained that the NLRB gave the hospital the "notic" in the WRONG FONT SIZE. They now want the hospital to keep it posted until July 20. The nurses just want a chance to vote again and finally be done with this and the union is stalling, dragging and delaying!!! What is te point of ll this? Do they think they are scoing any points with these nurses? NOT!!!:no:

Once again Nancy it shows how the California Nurses Association cares nothing about the will of the people. They claim to be the "voice for nurses" yet when the nurses use that voice and the words that come out don't please the CNA then the union will do everything in its power to stifle that voice and punish those that dare speak against them.

This action against the nurses of Inland Valley Medical Center does not surprise me and it should only strengthen the resolve of the nurses to once and for all remove the California Nurses Association.

Are you kidding me? There is but one state in this nation that has nurse to patient ratios across the board, and those ratios were accomplished solely by the California Nurses Association! Why your nurses would vote out the only union that has made such accomplishments is beyond me!

I would love to have the CNA in my state.
