1. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   I think there are a lot of issues that we see as the same. And, I'm not really clear on SEIU in California--I believe there is even some issues within the organization itself which has caused some rifts. Rumor has it that United Healthcare West was i...

2. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   As a labor organizer, you know that not everyone is going to be thrilled with every decision, organization, situation....come on! I can name any number of instances of dissatisfaction with CNA/NNOC tactics as verbalized on any number of blogs. One pe...

3. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   Please---SEIU didn't start this 'intercine struggle with other members of the labor movement' in Ohio. You're preaching to the choir by stating the obvious need to focus on our objective---we were very focused on that objective until CNA/NNOC provoke...

4. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   And, AGAIN, for the hundredth time, CNA/NNOC could have been on A BALLOT if they had done the legwork....and, they didn't! We DID vote SEIU in 10 years ago....and, we have DOUBLED our union membership at our hospital. There is NO contested election ...

5. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   i had answered all these arguments, but it got lost while loading, so i'll try this again-- signing cards is not the only way to a union vote--and it's a lengthy, emotional and stressful process. seiu believes it has the support of chp employees to d...

   that's a very valid point and would be true, had it not been for the confusion caused by the disruption of the process by a third party---cna.

7. SEIU vs. CNA this week at my hospital

   HobbesRN replied to CABG patch kid's topic in Union

   How do you know for a fact that the video you're talking about wasn't doctored?? And, if, in fact, all those accounts were factual and not fiction, why did the California Supreme Court vacate the restraining order against SEIU that CNA had dramatical...

8. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

   HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

   per nicurn001- i find it incomprehensible that if union has the degree of support it needs to apply for a representation vote , it would partner with management and allow management to file for the vote , why did not the seiu not simply ask the empl...

9. SEIU vs. CNA this week at my hospital

   HobbesRN replied to CABG patch kid's topic in Union

   That restraining order was found to be baseless and overturned yesterday by the California Supreme Court.....well, not baseless---actually based on lies and misrepresentations. Read about it: www.ShameOnCNA.com

10. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

    HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

    3,000 Ohio RN's, along with over 5,000 non-union CHP employees, were DEPRIVED of that choice because of CNA's actions. CNA could have been on that ballot if they had submitted ONE SIGNED CARD--they didn't do that. This was a free and fair election pr...

11. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

    HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

    Here's another point of view-- and this isn't the perspective of the CHP nurses who were illegally approached by CNA operatives on the premises of their employers in Ohio. That's a whole other story! CNA has distorted the facts and employed fear tact...

12. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

    HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

    WHO did they rescue? Certainly not the 5,000 non-RN employees of CHP! They prevented over 8.000 CHP employees from having their say in a free and fair election--- SEIU is a social union, concerned with, among other social issues, 'nurses professional...

13. Labor Leader Silent on Union-Busting in Ohio Hospitals

    HobbesRN replied to unionwoman's topic in Activism

    that hardly seems like a 'rant'....rather, it appears to be a statement that depicts cna as the 'union buster' it is. here's the response by the california courts this afternoon to some of cna's histrionics: week of 4/21 talking points on seiu and cn...

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

    HobbesRN replied to LindaKirby's topic in Union

    You are SO misinformed....Can you quote some sources for those statements? I'm very curious... That election was the culmination of 10 years of SEIU work to organize CHP employees. SEIU demanded that CHP recognize them as the bargaining agent for the...

    That election would have gone forward if it weren't for CNA's union busting.....
