I'm not. National Nurses United is affiliated with the California Nurses Association, so what they do strikes me as a little more outspoken than things usually are around here. When I was temping, I worked in an organization that was represented by the Illinois Nurses Association, although as a temp I wasn't included in their representation. It seemed to me as an outsider that the union added another (sometimes unnecessary) layer between the nurses and the management team because issues with assignments, staffing, schedules and overtime had to go to the union steward before they could go to management. But I can still write and let them know. They come from out west, stage a rally and leave town -- and we are left to explain it to our patients next week! Grrrr!
