  1. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Thanks. I'd missed the article on ONA. Some of the workers must have asked for SEIU for management to have agreed to be neutral, no? One of the articles in my original post states it was a group of...

  2. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Does anyone know where the Ohio Nurses Association stands on this? Don't see anything on their website. Did CNA introduce the staffing ratio legislation in Ohio,

  3. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    The thread from the Ohio forum and this one should be merged, no? I didn't see the thread in the Ohio forum when I started this one, and don't want to be repetitive.

  4. Attention CHP Ohio RN's

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't understand. Some of the workers must of asked for SEIU to get management to agree to a neutality agreement, right? Maybe not nurses, although one article reported that it was nurses that had...

    "help protect the rights of ohio rns to choose the union that will best represent them. the accompanying message can be used in e-mails of support. copy (or cut and paste) the suggested message...

  6. Attention CHP Ohio RN's

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I posted a news article about this vote in the CB discussion before seeing the post here. Why is this illegal? Isn't this what's known as a "neutrality agreement"? From the articles I saw, 6...

  7. Nurses Associations Disaffiliate from United American Nurses

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

    IMO- Without a means for collective action, nurses are powerless to influence the healthcare environment. Nurses can be empowered by participating in organizations at local, state, national and...

  8. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    CintiRN- I'm a little confused by your comments concerning "seperatism" and the importance of speaking with one voice. ONA recently disaffiliated from its national union, the UAN, along with three...

  9. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    On the UAN disaffiliation- Sorry mzpro5RN- It was one of the other states that I was thinking of when I stated the board made the decision. Gets confusing between Oregon and Ohio both being "ONA". I...

  10. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    RN Power Ohio- Wish you much success with the campaign!! Sounds like the nurses in Ohio are ready for something better!! I wonder if the majority of ONA members support their legislation. They better...

  11. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Politically speaking- If you convince one legislator that the current bill does not go far enough to address the patient safety and nursing shortage crisis, more will follow. The real stumbling...

  12. To Unionize or Not To Unionize: Questions that every nurse should ask themselves

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

    The fundamental difference in the two ideologies, IMO: You're on your own vs we're in this together. I choose the

  13. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    mzpro5RN- Appreciate your comments. Environmental scan is a vital component to determining strategy. You are home to Congressman Kucinich, though, so the entire state can't be conservative, no? I'm...

  14. Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act (THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!)

    Julia RN replied to BethAn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do believe- If you build it, they (nurses) will come. If the Bill is passed, it will be at least five years before it is implemented and more will be attracted to the

  15. Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act (THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!)

    Julia RN replied to BethAn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is another federal staffing bill that has been introduced this year by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)-The Safe Nurse Staffing for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2007- H.R. 2123 From the...

  16. Ohio Nurses Speak Out

    Julia RN replied to RN Power Ohio's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The bill which is backed by the Ohio Nurses Association, HB 346, is also supported by the Ohio Organization of Nurse Executives and the Ohio Hospital Association. That says something to me as I do not...

  17. Pa. nurses to join with national labor group

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

    In most state associations that have unions, the union members pay a different rate of dues- sometimes twice as much as the non-union member. All nurses benefit from whatever is achieved in the union...

  18. Nurses Associations Disaffiliate from United American Nurses

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

    Add Washington to the list of defectors. These states all have strong ties with ANA and wanted a more "ANA"/staff run vs Union/staff nurse run model. The leadership of these four states couldn't get...
