   micurn55 replied to lee1's topic in Union

   I definitely agree that nurses need a powerful national union. I'm not sure that CNA/NNOC fits the bill however. Personally, I would prefer a union that includes all nurses (LPNs too) and other nursing staff. CNA only includes RNs. Also I find their ...

2. I don't get it...CNA Ohio

   micurn55 replied to Miss Mab's topic in Union

   I find much of the language used by pro-CNA/NNOC posters on this site to describe SEIU troubling. (i.e. SEIU hurts human rights, SEIU is sleazy, SEIU is against patients.) This incredibly negative hateful language contrasts sharply with the posts by ...

3. Been getting calls from SEIU?

   micurn55 replied to RedZeppelinRN's topic in Union

   I'm from Ohio, and I know some of the facts around this story. Nurses and other employees at 9 or 10 hospitals in Ohio had been trying to get a vote for three years and were just a couple days from voting union. Dozens of CNA organizers showed up at ...

4. How do I find out which......

   micurn55 replied to UnionOrNot's topic in Union

   I think SEIU's website is http://www.seiu.org/health/nurses/. I've contacted them about organizing before and its pretty easy if you follow the links. I think that I sent an email.

5. I don't get it...CNA Ohio

   micurn55 replied to Miss Mab's topic in Union

   The piece of literature in question asks nurses to "Vote No" repeatedly. Don't understand how that could fail to be interpreted as anti-union. Chico David, How does the old saying go, "thou doth protest too much?"

6. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

   micurn55 replied to Julia RN's topic in Union

   Barbikins, check out the post at the top of this page! Clearly you are biased in favor of Roseann Demoro and the CNA/NNOC. I can tell you for sure that young people in Ohio are NOT more likely to look at nursing as a career as a result of work done b...

7. Defend RNs Right to Unionize, and Advocate for our Patients

   micurn55 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Union

   I wish we had more union hospitals in Ohio. Almost the only way to make real money here as a nurse is to work agency. My observation is that the benefits are getting really bad too. HOw long before smokers and "overweight" people can not get any heal...

   Check these out from the same paper as the first article on this strand: Your Letters for Mar. 23 - Hospital Union Sunday, March 23, 2008 Outsiders made vote impossible I work at Springfield Regional Medical Center-High St. campus and witnessed some ...

9. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

   micurn55 replied to LindaKirby's topic in Union

   ironically, wikipedia lists cna as a union-busting organization: in 2008, a new form of union-busting has emerged with the california nurses association (cna) urging hospital workers to vote no in an election involving the service employees internati...

10. Letter from a CHP RN denied the union by the CNA

    micurn55 replied to Organize1199's topic in Union

    Check out the Ohio SEIU website: www.seiu1199.org. They have a lot of good links to newspaper articles, videos, etc. about this. I don't buy the arguments by the NNOC, that nog signing union cards makes this company unionism. Too legalistic for me, I...

11. I don't get it...CNA Ohio

    micurn55 replied to Miss Mab's topic in Union

    miss mab i agree with you that cna is not lazy. much rather have their energy focussed on organizing non-union rns out by you in california then busting up union elections. check out this blog from someone who's relative is a chp nurse: cna is lying....

12. CNA's Union-Busting in Ohio-An Open Letter

    micurn55 replied to LindaKirby's topic in Union

    i checked out the nnoc page, the seiu page, and the seiu ohio page, and i think seiu has the moral authority here. here are what i consider to be the key points in seiu's favor: 1) chp workers chose seiu and had been working with them for years. lots...

13. Attention CHP Ohio RN's

    micurn55 replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Ohio

    Apologize for the namecalling. I was in a union drive at my hospital years ago that did not go through. Just so sorry for these nurses who don't have a union now.

14. Attention CHP Ohio RN's

    micurn55 replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Ohio

    this looks really anti union. is this a cna press release? disturbing. wouldn't a no vote have resulted in no union, not the cna? i think it must be illegal for a union to say this kind of thing (which is at the least confusing and misleading) so clo...

    Here is something from the New York Times on the bote being cancelled: Dave Regan, president of a service employees' local representing 35,000 health care workers in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, called the nurses union's efforts immoral and desp...
