CNA/NNOC, SEIU Agree to Work Together in Bringing Voice to Health Care Workers
The nation’s two largest health care unions today signed a dramatic new agreement to work together to bring a voice to health care workers around the country and ramp up efforts to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
The agreement between the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) and SEIU, says CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro,
provides a huge spark for the emergence of a more powerful, unified national movement that is needed to more effectively challenge health care industry layoffs and attacks on Registered Nurse (RN) economic and professional standards and patient care conditions. It will also strengthen the ability of all direct-care RNs to fight for real health care reform and advocate for improved patient care conditions and stronger patient safety legislation from coast to coast.
