LPN Union

Published

What does it take to get a union startred for LPN's in the south? I have heard for years that if a LPN tries or talks union they loose their job and then end up at the Board of Nursing on false charges.

I would contact AFSCME.org. I think SEIU represents some LPN's. Best of luck! In solidarity...

Don't use a company phone or computer for anything related to your quest for information on unions.

Having said that, nearly every nurse I know is a union member (only family doctors and some clinics up here are non-union).

Try a public service union. Hell, I belong to the same union as prison guards and social workers. You'd be surprized who might be interested.

Here in Ontario, most places are unionized including most LTC homes and retirement homes. As noted above the union may include any type of worker. Unions are just a fact of life here.

Thanks for all the replies, I would like to get involved with a union, but first there has to be one. Here in the south ( Alabama) there are none for LPN's. Guess I will start by doing a little research on the subject. If anyone has helpful suggestions please share.
