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

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

    Oh, please--I was very specific about the rhetoric in your first post. Your second post contains a little more venomous rhetoric, to say nothing of being patronizing and condescending---I know I don't...

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

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

    With the exception of the list of CNA's president's council and the definition of the organization, what you are quoting as fact is not--it's rhetoric. Rhetoric does not justify CNA/NNOC's actions in...

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

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

    CNA/NNOC did not get involved publicly in that union-busting effort until the week of the election. They did not run an organizing campaign like SEIU did for years to try to win an election for CHP...

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

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

    I just read the article you provided the link to--this is an issue in California and Sal Rossini, the proponent of this amendment, is a rogue SEIU official who has resigned from the SEIU executive...

  6. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Here ya go- This thread actually started out crucifying SEIU and has flourished with distortion of facts. 1. Usually union elections are made or broken on fear-mongering, innuendo and twisted facts....

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

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

    Per RN Power Ohio: Come on...Wikipedia?? Are you aware that anyone can post anything on wikipedia!!??? It is not authoratative in any way. It is a community encylcopedia- I have...

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

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

    Your above quote from Wikipedia is EXACTLY what CNA/NNOC did! Those CHP nurses did NOT invite CNA's interference!! CNA prevented not only the nurses, but all the other eligible CHP employees from...

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

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

    Of course I have a biased opinion! So do a lot of bloggers here. I'm allowed to have that opinion but understand that it is from first-hand experience with CHP and SEIU, not speculation. I have...

  11. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    Dear Justice4peace- Thanks for your response-but know I am not 'tearing anyone down'. When I addressed Rose Ann DeMoro's credentialing, I should have written that she must possess a great work ethic....

  12. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    On the contrary---CNA/NNOC is NOT run by bedside RN's. Rose DiMoro (sp?) is NOT a nurse. She was NOT elected by the rank and file--but, rather, she was a grocery clerk or bagger who worked her way up...

  13. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    This is a letter to the editor--and, the 'Ohio nurse' is a member of NNOC/CNA. It is a totally biased misrepresentation of the

  14. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    THAT is a letter to the editor by a member of CNA--totally biased and a misrepresentation of facts. BTW, there were NO CARDS signed by CHP nurses to have CNA/NNOC represent them--they only needed ONE...

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

    THAT is a letter to the editor by a member of CNA--totally biased and filled with

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

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

    There are several ways to get the NLRB to hold an election. One is to have employees sign cards requesting a union to represent them. Or, the employer could agree to allow elections to be held. In...

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

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

    So, it's OK to union-bust because you only had a handful of 'people' passing out flyers?? That's a great justification! Timing is everything--CNA could have been on the ballot had they produced ONE...

  18. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    You don't have to sign cards to have an election. CHP did not 'pick' SEIU--SEIU campaigned to have a union election for the CHP employees. I'm sure CNA/NNOC would have JUMPED at the opportunity to...

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

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

    RN Power- Thanks for your reply- I do, however, take issue with your statement that I 'seem to feel it's ok to have a company union or no union.' That's a total distortion --but fits nicely into your...

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

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

    The union elections I've been involved in have been 'yes' or 'no'. It's my belief that having more than one union to choose from would be detrimental to the election process---In my experience, the...

  21. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    I HAVE read the information from ONA. I support the work that they do in the legislative and educational arenas. However, in two separate incidences, my co-workers and I had sought the assistance of...

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

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

    i have a problem with your response in that it's a generalization. in this instance, the cna is acting not as a union but as a union-buster. that's the 'union' having issue with seiu. elections...

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

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

    As an RN from OH, employed by CHP and an active member of SEIU, I have a unique perspective on the events of the past few days. I find the UNINVITED actions of the CNA and NNOC appalling and...

  24. SEIU Vote at Ohio Catholic Healthcare Partners

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

    As an SEIU-represented nurse from OH, employed by CHP, AND a member of ONA, I think that I possess an accurate perception of both CHP and SEIU. I'm also very active in OUR union---yes, OUR union,...
