I am a grad student, organizational development, and a 25+ yr., still working, registered nurse, I am asking for help with the phone numbers of unions in NY, CA and IL. along with the names of the membership coordinators in those unions. I am writing a paper and need to contact people in the near future. Thank you all for any help.
