Violent tactics against picketers....... :mad: Nurses Protest Violent Tactics Against Picketers Jobs
That's absolutely horrible and scarey. It's also rediculous. Raise your hand if you want to work for that hospital EVER. NOT. It wioll be a sad situation for the community when the hospital folds due to this action. EVERYONE should walk away from this hospital, including the patients.
I agree with MRS.ERNURSE that is horrible, I graduate in 8 days and it's sad that people are treating RN's like that. Also it's scary that the people left to take care of the patients are probably not as qualified as the RN's picketing. I am sure that since staff is stretched thin aids and LPN' are probably doing duties that is really not in their scope of practice, which means patient's lives are in danger. I agree with cougarnurse, it seems like the patients are the ones that are suffering the most. Most people go into the nursing field to help people and it seems like nowadays most hospitals are out to make money and not making patient care and safety number one.

I still believe that striking helps no-one, especially the patient/client. Oh, I understand the patient load, etc.....I can tell ya a bit on that. However, who is taking care of the patient, if you're walking the picket line? Just food for thought.
ARN nurses agree to suspend strike 90 days......... ;) ARH nurses agree to suspend strike 90 days
Apparently the hospital don't care about of safety as long as they make money, if it wasn't for the bottom line they would hire more nurses. After you win, they will let all NA's go, then they will require BSN for RNs that way they can still say , well we can't find any RNs!
The KNA has been mad a poster child for the ongoing union disagreements between the UAN/SEIU and NYSNA. they have been misguided and could have been settled this contract without the turf wars.
It's too bad what went on, and hope they settle soon. NYSNA has left the UAN because of the affiliation with the SEIU. the NYSNA war is personal, like they make all their wars, it's never about the membership, it's always about competition and it most certainly is always personal.

THe way they treat nurses will soon evolve in your state for the better, just voice out your rights. Use to work in several states in ED and found out California got the best unions out there for nurses and it took them countless strikes to attain that status...GO!! Nurses:) I've also attended this workshop in Bayarea where we "JUDGE" our workplace. It's a good feeling "Rating" your nursing workplace check out this website: Where nurses evaluate their workplace.
