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

    Searched on the NLRB and there's a link to the case: http://www.nlrb.gov/case/03-CA-027723 It seems the staff's union filed a Unfair Labor Practice charge against nysna. A judge issued a decision in...

  4. RN "Super Union"

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

    So they all joined CNA/NNOC- not that I think this is a bad thing. I do believe we are stronger together. This looks more like a new constitution for NNOC with an expanded leadership body, than a...

  8. Assignment Despite Objection Form

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

    We also use a protest of assignment (POA) form in my union. The professional association cautions nurses who are not covered by the union that using the form may put their job at risk. Our form states...

  10. CNA vs SEIU

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

    i think this is a really important discussion for everyone involved in the labor movement especially at this time. in the broad view, this is not just about two unions- it is about the importance of...

  11. union pro or con

    Julia RN replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

  12. union pro or con

    Julia RN replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    educated union members know that the antidote for corruption in the labor movement is union democracy. lessons of our forefathers have taught us well. dedicated union activists know that "watchdog" is...

  13. A New National Union for ANA?

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

    Agree with your analysis. Unfortunately, many union staff nurses (and their dues $) remain tied to ANA through mandated membership. I do think the "ratio fight", as well as the management influences...

  14. union pro or con

    Julia RN replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I don't characterize the power of collective action as a "crutch". It's great that you are able to be a strong advocate for your patients. Could you agree that your voice would be even stronger, carry...

  15. Rights of Registered Nurses When Considering a Patient Assignment

    Julia RN replied to smoke over fire's topic in Retired Nurses

    This ANA position is a revison to replace the 1995 statement. While any nurse can file an objection to an assignment, the consequences may be severe without union protection- was true in 1995 and...

  17. How to Find Staffing Guidlines

    Julia RN replied to Pudnluv's topic in General Nursing

    A quick look at the Oncology Nursing Society website did not offer much in the way of help with this issue. From what I see, they do not take a position on staffing ratios and their legislative...

  18. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Julia RN replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see this thread is still active- agree with the advice that we must keep the pressure on our reps to do what must be done. Safe staffing will save lives and healthcare $$ as well by improving...

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

    cheu looks to have about 2500 members- a lot less than the rn membership of cna. sorry- but at least for now, it looks like a different union only on paper- a division of cna created to represent...

    Wanted to post an update- On Sept 8, 2008, ANA and a former president of the Michigan Nurses Association jointly filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Nurses Association. Apparently, ANA is attemptng...

  22. Cook Co. Healthcare Workers File to Join with RNs in NNOC

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

    So this I don't get... Being curious, I looked up CHEU. It doesn't look like an "affiliate". Rather, it looks like it is CNA- same address, all money goes to CNA for representation, no staff of its...

  23. State Staffing Plan Legislation- What do you think?

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