    Sherwood replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Spokane, Washington The only alternative would be for nurses, en- masse, to change their employment status to that of an independant contractor. If they even can. If hospitals...

  3. National Labor Relations Board rules some nurses are supervisors

    Sherwood replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses at my hospital have received up to a 22% wage increase over the last three years without union representation. Get your BSN and you get an additional 5%. CCRN? CEN? 5% more as well. Tuition...

  4. National Labor Relations Board rules some nurses are supervisors

    Sherwood replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses prepared to strike to protect their patients? Nurses will walk off the job and walk a picket line while their patients are inside? I know, I know the union will give the hospital ten days...

  5. National Labor Relations Board rules some nurses are supervisors

    Sherwood replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What this means is that Registered Nurses are one step closer to being legally recognized as the professionals we are. Nurses do supervise, direct and make managerial decisions every day. Not just...

  7. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It looks to me like both sides here are agreeing to run a clean, factual, non-disruptive campaign to avoid all the stuff you've complained about in the past. What's the problem with that? :typing...

  9. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok Liz, I have provided you with the actual Neutrality Agreement. It clearly limits employees ability to obtain information from their employer. It clearly puts the union in the best position. It is...

  11. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am sorry you "don't get it" Liz. I guess if everyone got it then we would not have to deal with the unions in the first place. I have had to explain it to a lot of people both for and against the...

  12. Nurses Hit Union and Medical Center with Federal Charges for Violating Their Freedom

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am behind on this thread, I used to get email notification when someone replied to a thread started. Maybe that feature was removed. I do have a copy of the Neutrality Agreement, it is a long boring...

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow, thanks for the compliments I think. I thought this thread died on the vine but I guess I was wrong. It just took a while before you all started reading it. I am glad you are making good wages...

  14. Getting Along- The Union Debate

    Sherwood replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why was your great union rep fired? The union was not able to protect her? The unions are always telling us that they will protect its members from being disciplined or terminated without cause. I...

  15. Getting Along- The Union Debate

    Sherwood replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is an anti union web site you have posted. I do not want to do away with the union. I just do not want to be a member of an ineffective one. Most of the nurses really do not want to deal with...

  16. Getting Along- The Union Debate

    Sherwood replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are allowed to "fire" your union, and vote in a new one. In case no one ever told you that. If you are not happy with them, when you contract is expiring, petition the NLRB to vote out you union,...

  17. The Disruptive Physician

    Sherwood replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We have a surgeon on staff who was infamous for his angry outbursts, his short temper and his extremely childish tantrums. It took two tries but now he no longer slams charts on the desks, yells or...

  19. CNA loses in Flagstaff Arizona

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The CNA must have thought it had a chance to win. I wonder how much of its members dues money was was wasted on a what you believe was a sure loser? How long will it take for the staff to recover from...

  20. CNA loses in Flagstaff Arizona

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    True, but the thread title did not sing to me like "CNA Loses in Flagstaff Arizona" I think that conveys the message better. I wonder why the CNA did not announce the results of the vote on their...

  21. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sherwood posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Scripps Encinitas first decertification campaign last summer was unsuccessful on the surface. Perseverance paid off as the nurses in favor of decertification continued their campaign. The CNA in their...

  25. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    Sherwood replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is not "union pay". It is Nurses pay, Nurses wages and Nurses benefits. Unions do not protect my job. I protect my job by caring for my patients the way my patients deserve to be cared for. I have...
