    The measure that they are trying to get on the ballot is for unions to get permission from those public employees before they can use dues money collected for political lobbying or donations to...

  2. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    So why would the CNA insist on "union security" or "union shop" if they don't mind RNs not paying dues to support them? If it is a choice, why not leave it an open shop for RNs to choose. You can file...

    Nancy2 replied to ann95's topic in California Nursing

  6. Nnoc

    Nancy2 replied to lee1's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What "university"? I am unable to find her credentials anywhere. All I found was that she was an organizer for the teamsters before going to CNA. Her education and qualifications are in the shadows....

  7. Legal help needed

    Nancy2 replied to jdkaos's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You should be able to get the terms and definitions from the BRN in your state. You HR department should also have a definition. Do you have malpractice insurance? Often they will have advocates for...

  10. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    I believe the point of the math is that the union did not deliver what it promised!!! And union dues are not entirely tax deductible. They go into the box on schedule A with scrubs and other stuff and...

  15. Nnoc

    Nancy2 replied to lee1's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It was not meant to be "snobby". I chose to go to college and become a professional for many reasons, none of which involved being in a union or associated with teamsters. If I had wanted to be...

  16. Nnoc

    Nancy2 replied to lee1's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The NNOC is the CNA. The Executive director is not a nurse, she is a former Teamster who was hired by CNA and was instrumental in the parting of the ways with the ANA in 1995. She is a very aggressive...

  17. "Socialized medicine"

    Nancy2 replied to Grushenka's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have recently done quite a bit of research on different systems in France, Canada, Germany and the UK. Most are funded with mandatory taxes (about 40% income tax) and in Canada their system coverage...

  18. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    No! Not The Board members, the employees who work for the board. The board agents that review unfair labor practice charges, the agents that hold the elections and count the votes. The people who...

  19. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    Maybe.... but it is a pattern. Monterey Park, St Joseph in Arizona, and a few others in the last couple of years that I can't recall right off. Sometimes they just miscalculate and lose anyway like at...

    Nancy2 replied to mommatrauma's topic in Burn

    I was a burn Nurse in the 1990's, silvadine was only used on some kinds of burns then and since then, there have been several schools of thought. I would check with the burn center that you usually...

  22. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with you. A new election would have been great, but CNA withdrew the petition. Were they afraid they'd lose?It seems like everytime they fear a loss, they just run away instead of "having a...

  23. Calif RN disagrees with CNA in many ways. Am I alone?

    Nancy2 replied to imkw_np's topic in California Nursing

    So, are you saying that sworn testimony by RNs working in that hospital is not what you would call "hard evidence". If you gave sworn testimony against your administration, would you want it to be...
