Unions, including the CNA, make many promises during an organizing campaign. 

 

Employees need to understand a few basics regarding what a union can and cannot do.

 

Even though they will promise and guarantee (not in writing) that you will have a voice in how your organization will be run and what you will get in collective bargaining, the true fact is that their main concern is, at your expense, to increase their revenue and their political power. 

 

The truth is, Unions, including the CNA,

DO NOT; WILL NOT and CANNOT: 

  1. Create jobs while trying to force you (or negotiate in your behalf) to pay up to $80.00 per month for a job you applied and got yourself 

  2. Pay their employees high salaries (see financials) while not willing to guarantee (in writing) to improve yours

  3. Provide or pay for their own employee and their relatives (see financial) benefits while not guaranteeing (in writing) to improve yours

  4. Will not tell you that under the law: “collective bargaining can be  hazardous for employees and as a result…employees could possibly end up with less benefit after unionization as before."

  5. Attack your hospital as a place that do not take care of patients, something that not only discredits your facility, it also discredits you by making people believe that your hospital hires lousy nurses

  6. Will not tell you that the law clearly states that "the duty to bargain collectively does not compel either party to agree to a proposal by the other, nor does it require either party to make a  concession to the other." 

  7. Will not provide for or contribute to any patient care 

  8. Will not invest or contribute to the successful operations or financial results of any organization 

  9. Will not spend any of their revenues on behalf of any of their  individual members

  10. Will call for rallies, boycotts and strikes during working hours that disregards the needs of the patients (the sama patients they so much want to protect) and other non union staff

  11. Cause unnecessary expense to your facility and its infrastructure to force them to cave in to their demands while totally disregarding patient care and community interests (see union tactics)

  12. That their organization is run not by nurses but by -and perhaps owned-  by ex Teamsters organizers (see The Boss)

 

To see how where the CNA spends members dues and

other revenues (See CNA Financials).

 AN INFORMED VOTE IS A NO VOTE!
