PASNAP/CNA/NNOC withdraw strike notice! One question why do you avoid associating yourselves with CNA?
HAHNEMANN NURSES WIN ELECTION!
The Professional Nurses made their voices heard!
CNA/PASNAP/NNOC defeated 309 to 267!
By Will Collins Created 9 Jul 2009 - 11:57am Subhead: Union hierarchy loses decertification election, prosecution of union officials for workplace intimidation moves forward Location: Philadelphia, PA Philadelphia, PA (July 8, 2009) – After enduring a coercive union organizing campaign and harassment by union militants, a Philadelphia-area nurse successfully ejected the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals (PASNAP) union, a local affiliate of the national California Nurses Association (CNA) union, from Hahnemann University Hospital.
Certifying the results, federal supervisors from the National Labor Relations Board announced that PASNAP lost the election, 309 votes to 267. Union officials may no longer force nurses to accept their “representation.”
Kimberly Hummel of Deptford, New Jersey is employed as a nurse at Hahnemann University Hopsital, a medical facility owned and operated by Tenet Healthcare Corporation. After CNA organizers muscled into the hospital using a controversial “Election Procedures Agreement” (EPA), Hummel criticized the hospital’s support for union organizers.
With free legal aid from the National Right to Work Foundation, she filed federal unfair labor practice charges against the California Nurses Association (CNA) union and Tenet Healthcare Corporation in February 2009.
The charges challenged the legitimacy of the EPA, listing multiple violations of employee rights that hindered nurses’ attempts to resist the CNA’s professional organizers. Under the agreement, Tenet managers were gagged from responding truthfully to employee questions about the CNA, and nurses who opposed unionization were forbidden from using Tenet facilities to express their views. Outside union organizers, on the other hand, were given free rein to pressure nurses into approving unionization.
In early June, Foundation attorneys filed another round of unfair labor practice charges against the CNA, alleging that Hummel was harassed and stalked by union militants in retaliation for her efforts to challenge CNA’s aggressive organizing tactics.
Despite this intimidation, Hummel successfully initiated a union decertification election by collecting signatures from more than 30 percent of affected hospital employees who oppose the union’s presence.
“After enduring a backroom organizing deal between their employer and the CNA and union intimidation in the workplace, Hahnemann University Hospital nurses have finally restored their individual rights to free association,” said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation.

Can Unions Lie to their Members? The NLRB says "YES"!
CAN UNIONS LIE TO THEIR MEMBERS? THE NLRB SAYS 'YES'! The National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that was allegedly established to protect workers from abuse from both employers and unions.
Unfortunately, it seems that the NLRB has now become a mere tool of union bosses.
On May 29th, the union-controlled NRLB gave an unabashed green light for union bosses to go-ahead and lie to their members. In an Advice Memorandum, the Office of the General Counsel stated:
"We conclude that the Union did not violate either Section 8(b)(3) or 8(b)(1)(A) by misstating the Employer’s final contract proposal at the ratification meeting because that vote was wholly an internal union matter, nor did it violate Section 8(b)(3) by failing to execute the proposed final agreement because the contract proposed by the Employer differed from the contract ratified by the employees."
Left as a stand alone, this is alarming for union members and potential union members. In light of the potential of the delusionally-dubbed Employee Free Choice Act, this NLRB ruling is appalling!

We are the Professional Nurses at Hahnemann University Hospital Making a Stand against CNA/PASNAP/NNOC
The Nurses at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have been the victims of a corporate Neutrality or Election Procedure Agreement. This agreement was born from a corporate collanboration between Tenet and CNA/PASNAP/NNOC. What this means is that the union organizers have been given access to our facility under the restrictions of the agreement. Here is the kicker....the agreement benefits the Union. That's right the employees did not request the union come in our doors the Corporation of Tenet did? You may be asking yourself how can this be fair?
Well it is not ... the main chain of command at our facility has been placed on a "GAG ORDER!" This means that our traditional source of leadership, education, information and guidance cannot assist us in this matter. Those who do not dare to question or investigate may think ... well if they are here and the company invited them then they must be okay... WRONG!!!
That is exactly what they want you to think... they want you to believe that everything is unsafe, underpaid, undervalued and low on benefits. They want you to believe that being a union facility is a desirable position.. That they will give you a voice! I have been a nurse for twenty years and have never had an issue getting my voice heard.
The truth is that they ROB you of your voice, your voice now becomes the Unions... What? Union memberships have decreased, infact union facilities are acitively pursuing decertification elections. This is why the birth of neutrality agreements have occured. Unions have invented these corporate alliances to place the empoyees of the facilities as pawns in a financial agreement... How is this fair? How is this just ? How is this being allowed?
What happened to the first Three Hospitals on the Neutrality Agreement between CNA/NNOC?
Join us in congratulating our sister hospital facilities and nurse that have successfully blocked CNA/NNOC from going to a Vote.... Houston Northwest and Park Plaza Hospitals in Houston, Texas. The other facility Cypress Fairbanks is in the process of an anti-union decertification election as you read this today.. Our votes and support are will all of you ! See the official NLRB withdrawl below... It is truly a shame that they have to blame everyone else but the fact that they did not have enough signatures! Nurses do have a voice and they have proven it ... and they didn't have to pay any monthly dues either!
