I have been trying to do some independent research on this but I'm getting nowhere...
It is my understanding that under a supreme court ruling, Licensed Practical Nurses cannot form their own union, because their job is "technical" (although I beg to differ) and therefore they need to join with other non-licensed personnel unions.
Is this still the case, and if so, is it possible to fight to change that? And what is the process for doing so?
To an extent I guess I understand why we should not have the same unions as RN's, but I think that we should have our own collective bargaining rights, separate from non-licensed personnel...
