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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    from hobbesrn: "the point was to avoid the ugliness as much as possible to get to an election." yeah, i know - democracy is such a messy business. i can really apprecite how much easier it is without...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    here are excerpts from an article in the st. louis post-dispatch of march 20th. the issues of genuine democracy we raise go far beyond us or a few dissidents in california. they represent a growing...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Organize1199: I notice that, lacking the logic or evidence or good sense to win any points, that all of your posts have degenerated to personal attacks and insults and just repeating the same...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I think nurses can figure out that the reason for this sudden massive SEIU presence here is simply that y'all have finally figured out that we are a danger to the "organize the boss, growth at any...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Then you obviously know very little. Current, active, from the ground up organizing campaigns, at least three of them with election dates set, in four California hospitals, several Texas Hospitals,...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This goes far deeper than just a fight over numbers of members. It is a fight over fundamentally different visons of what a union should be and particularly what a union for Registered Nurses should...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    False again of course. CNA/NNOC has been working in Ohio for over 2 years, laying the foundations for organizing by putting on classes for nurses and building a coalition around passing a staffing...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Now you have indeed gone a bit too far. Or rather quite a lot too far. CNA/NNOC has quadrupled in membership in the last 15 years, with the vast majority of the membership growth coming from new...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  11. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Since we seem to have multiple threads here started for the sole purpose of attacking CNA/NNOC, I'll just add the same questions I keep posting and never yet have seen anyone even attempt to respond...

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

    Chico David replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What has historically driven jobs out of this country more than anything else is the development of a piratical business ethic in which no amount of profit is ever "enough". And unfortunately, in a...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I've been mulling over the course of this thread and it brings to mind an old, possibly apocryphal story from my long ago pre-nursing discipline of history. While Sir Walter Raliegh, having incurred...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I guess I'll just quote myself from another thread, since it seems necessary to keep repeating these questions: "I'm afraid I just have to keep asking the same questions again and again here, since no...

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

    Chico David replied to Miss Mab's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm afraid I just have to keep asking the same questions again and again here, since no one seems to be able to answer them on any of the threads related to this subject: 1. If there was so much work...

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

    Chico David replied to Organize1199's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    There is considerable dispute over both facts and interpretation of facts in this one. I am a CNA member activist, but was only peripherally involved in this. SEIU Claims that they had a long history...

  17. california nurses association

    Chico David replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Good questions! You might not like the answers. 1. Both unions had agreements with managment, but nothing like the ageements in Ohio. They both had agreements that limited management campaigning and...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Since this whole thing was announced only 8 or 10 days before the election and the nurses were told by management that they were forbidden to talk about it with each other, obviously the first...

  19. california nurses association

    Chico David replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    backed up with what facts? And why do you have such a hard time responding to the questions? it seems like the pro-CNA/NNOC posts make actual factual points and all you have to offer is vague...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You bet CNA has a beef with SEIU - and with any organization that engages in their kind of dirty backroom dealing to treat nurses like commodities to be bought and sold for short term advantage. And...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And I say again: if there was real support, the fact that a handful of people showed up and passed out some flyers - despite physical intimidation by SEIU with management support - would have made no...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    from SamanthRN "How were the CHP nurses supposed to be prepared to defend against union-busting by another union? Who could ever have imagined such a tactic?" How could SEIU not imagine it, when they...

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

    Chico David replied to LindaKirby's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    From HobbesRN "Elections conducted by the NLRB are not multiple choice ballots--there's not a choice between 'a' 'b' or 'c' union. It's a 'yes' or 'no' vote to union representation. I'm assuming your...

  24. california nurses association

    Chico David replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The preceding poster is an obvious shill for the SEIU, which once had a proud history as an actual union - and a few of its locals still are - but now has gone into the business of making slimy...
