California is great but we can do it in the South too! I work at a union hospital in Miami. We are a Top 25 hospital. We have good wages and benefits, and a pension plan. When a person you work is lazy or unsafe practioner (union or non-union) nothing should stop us from talking to that person but it's managements job (union or non-union) to deal with these folks. They have the tools -- they HIRED them! With a union the unfairly accused are entitled to due process, but not protection if they are incompetent or lazy. My union is SEIU 1991.

The union contract at my hospital (Jackson Memorial Hospital) in Miami is among the best in the nation. I make $38 per hour and that doesn't count the differential, benefits, and pension plan. Plus, we have a voice in decision making. Cedars and Pan American just won unions, and St. Marys has one too. And there are unions in Tampa too. Right-to-work does not mean NO unions, it just means no UNION SECURITY. That means everyone does not automatically become part of the union and pay dues, but everyone gets the benefits. Good for management, harder for us.

well, that's true but St. Mary's is better than most because at least they have a union.
