    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    In my case I had made it abundantly clear to the union punks that I did not wish to have anyone visit my home under any circumstances. Given that I live in a gated community, if someone would have...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It's not ad "odd twist," as you say to claim in a press release that say's 92% of the RN's at a particular hospital voted for union representation when I doubt the general public, in light of...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    We have a "castle law" here in Florida as well, ominous. I made it clear to the punks who were attempting to speak to me at work that a visit to my house would not be a welcome one. 1199SEIU was...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I agree with you, ominous. I was always vaguely aware of what it meant to live in a Right to Work state, but in the last 45 days I've learned a lot about it and have become involved with the awesome...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    David, I never meant to imply that I had a great "understanding of the bargaining process." What I do know beyond any shadow of a doubt is that what I recieve for compensation and benefits is fair....

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I never said the comment was necessarily relevant :-) It just seems dishonest when the union keeps promoting the "92%" number without clarifying that almost 25% of the nurses failed to vote, which was...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It was more like 64% of the total nurses eligible to vote, NICURN. While 64% of the vote is still impressive considering, the union still couldn't be honest enough to say what the actual figure was....

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I appreciate the opportunity to respond, Chico David. I am hardly a representative of any organization greater that myself, David. You are correct vis a vis the neutrality agreement in the behaviour...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Is anyone ever thrilled with their pay increases, Matt? Seriously? The fact is that with minimal overtime (i.e. one-extra shift/week) I made well over $100K last year...and I'm a staff nurse, not...

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You're joking? Right? Following the last election there is something like 25+ democrats/progressives in the entire

  11. Nurses at Osceola Regional Medical Center in Kissimmee, Fla., Joins NNU

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Actually, David, the margin was more like 64% if you look at the total number of RN's employed and eligible to vote. During the two days immediately preceeding the vote at least one union rep was...

  12. Nurses at Osceola Regional Medical Center in Kissimmee, Fla., Joins NNU

    OsceolaRN replied to nicurn001's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union
