1. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

   RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   CNA did not respect nurses' intelligence or decision making ability. if CHP RNs thought it was a bad deal all they would have to do was vote no.

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

   RNadvocate replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

6. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

   RNadvocate replied to Julia RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   Of course. Frankly, I've raised a lot of important issues here and am shocked that the response is to question my credentials. The real question is why you are supporting thousands of RNs having...

8. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

   RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   I just think it's crazy for RNs to undermine each other and the patient care team and then say it's because that's what's best for RNs. We should support each other in whatever endeavor we take

    RNadvocate replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    RNadvocate replied to NYTramaRN's topic in General Nursing

    A union is only as strong as it's members and with 84,000 rns across the nation -- I'm with Nurse Alliance. -- democracy rules. any way I think it's time to hold the entire healthcare industry...
