Is there a Union for Nursing in Florida?

[Proud Union RN]

To answer Cammie's question about definition of "largest union": at SEIU, we define it with numbers: 1.8 million employees represented, of which 1 million work in healthcare, including 84,000 Registered Nurses.
St. Pete General is one of the 6 hospitals across Florida where employees voted to be unionized last October and November, and all are currently in contract negotiations.
For our patients and our profession, we are making headway in all areas: our individual hospitals, our legislative districts and the Capitol.
