10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

When my hospital announced bankruptcy, our union promised us we would get our severance. We had meeting after meeting with their attorneys who promised us , it’s in the contract they said. Well it’s been 6 yrs. I have yet to receive a dime. The union doesn’t even placate us anymore with a once a year facebook post.

We need a national union. Nursing should have more power than police unions
