  5. @laborer, I don't know where you get your MISinformation. I LEAD the opposition against the union, and my core team and I have all been there for YEARS and YEARS, and much of our support has come from...

    I'm sorry, Ludlow, but my grandmother was a nurse since the 1930's, and she has always said she has made a good living at it....long before your union. Things have changed over the decades, for...

    We supposedly were nominating last week for potential representatives, yet only 2-3 people on our unit had been told of this. Funnier, yet, is that two of the people supposedly nominated were clueless...

    On my unit, if there has to be cancellations, it is rotated fairly and no one bears the burden solely. And, we can use out PTO to cover it, but as it is distributed fairly, everyone still has PTO to...

    I had heard that they even do that, but I didn't know anyone that they had visited. There's something really creepy about somebody showing up on your doorstep to try to influence your vote without it...
