Here is link from Seiu 1199P site:
While some nurses wont join nurses unions because they say they "dont believe in unions" or that "nurses unionizing is not a professional thing to do", and some dont even join their own professional state nursing assoc, it's the UNIONIZED nurses and state nursing assoc members - unionized and not - who are writing the nursing practice & pt safety laws that all patients & working nurses in their states will benefit from.
Mandatory OT is now illegal in 6 states - with more on the way. That didnt happen by itself. That happened because of the hard fight for it by nurses unions, state nurses assoc, & their members. So all those RNs who dont "believe" in us and wont do anything to help make laws like these happen, are sure going to have a lot to thank us union nurses and state nursing assoc members for by the time we're finished!
As they say in NY: "Ya gotta be in it tuh win it"

All Pa nurses, and we know there is lots of them here: time to contact your local and state legislator and request that they support this measure. This is one example when we need to be able to print off a page and take it to work to pass out to all nurses so that they be encouraged to write en mass!
