Discussion

To be, or not to be, that is the question.

My place of employment has a very aggressive union trying to get the workers to unionize. The mud slinging between the hospital and the union reps has become overwhelming. Its starting to look like there will be a vote on whether to unionize or not.

Im undecided on how I feel about it. I've seen unions do good, and I've seen them cause harm.

The one thing that makes me nervous is the fact that the union does not consist of just nurses. They want everyone in it. I tend to believe nursing would be better represented by a union that focuses on nursing and the complex issues nurses face.

Is that a fair assessment?

If you are union, do you feel they have improved things for you?

We all float down here.

    Why not work to get the union you prefer , our employer had enterred an agreement with a union , we nurses looked at this decided we did not wish to join a non specific union , contacted a RN only union , they took the necessary steps to get upon an election and we voted them in.

    That is a much better option IMO. Im not familiar with how to get the ball rolling on doing it though.

    Look at the states nursing associations , to see if they do collective bargaining or look at the NNU site , which I believe has links re. organizing .

    I can't swim so I don't float .
