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

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

    A few people testing a well-built house for its soundness will not cause its collapse. But if your structure is a house of cards it will fold with the slightest suggestion. Unfortunately SEIU prepared...

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

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

    Don't be confused hobbesrn. SEIU fighting for you would have meant that they were willing to do what it takes to win the hearts and minds of your coworkers. They obviously did not do that. Again where...

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

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

    Wow. This is really off the wall. If you've studied labor history at all you would know that people died trying to get real union representation. They were not put off by gatling guns being fired at...

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

    Get over yourself 1199. SEIU didn't have the backing on the ground and your 'partner' pulled out. Quit trying to shuffle blame, look yourself in the mirror and figure out how to be more desirable...

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

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

    I am still amazed that many continue to argue that a few Californians could go to Ohio during a blizzard when hardly anybody got out anywhere and in less than a week bring a union drive to a...

  7. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Take a few minutes (if you're a fast reader!) and see all the good things NNOC has done in Illinois for the nurses and for the community.

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

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't get that impression on reading the

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

    Or just as likely, how strongly RNs are compelled to expose deals and schemes that in the end sell out workers and

  10. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Except that in reality the SEIU/CHP deal did not allow any other union on the ballot. SEIU's company union deal with CHP awarded SEIU exclusive representation rights which foreclosed intervention,...

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

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

    Nor are you, I note. And I believe that fact was made transparent in her letter. She is, though, an insider that has informative insights and

  12. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Thanks for pointing this out. Please remember though that when nurses determine if they want to be represented by a union, they organize, sign cards stating that they want union representation, and...

  13. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    This is not the 1st time SEIU has negotiated with the bosses long before ever finding out what the majority of the workers want and need. About 5 years ago they did the same thing with

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

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

    The boss has a sweet deal either way. I was at a Tenet hospital a few years ago when SEIU negotiated a master contract with them. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, SEIU organizers showed up at our...

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

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

    Ryegal, I'd like you to consider that the RN employee and the employer do not have the same goals. RNs must advocate for the well-being of their patients. Employers have bottom lines and stock holders...

  16. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So, jadwinnurse2b, how long do you think the 47 million Americans who have no insurance have to wait to get health care? Sometimes they die waiting... And when these individuals show up in the ER to...

  17. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Quoting Darren:"You can't make an argument for socialized/single-payer based on whether or not a Canadian won't make a total exchange of the Canadian system for an Aetna card... ... And there is no...

  18. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah, hm2viking, once you can't work because of your illness, the system completely breaks down. My daughter, a teacher, couldn't work because of illness and wasn't eligible for disability because she...

  19. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In faith, Tim, the experiences that people tell about in SICKO are the facts on the ground about our health care system. We can't have babies dying for want of hydration and antibiotics as they sit...

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh and Darren, the numbers used about uninsured are government

  21. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hey Darren! I can tell you that Moore went to Canada and could not find one Canadian who would exchange their Canadian Health card for his Aetna card. He also said, as is the case, that no system is...

    Ludlow replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I also saw the preview of SICKO yesterday in Sacramento. What an incredible movie! What an honest look at our health care system! And what an embarrassment when we compare ourselves to other nations...
