So what’s really going on between the SEIU and the California Nurses Association in the organizing effort at Catholic Healthcare Partners in Ohio? Peggy Vaughn is an RN in Ohio supporting SEIU’s three year effort to organize nurses and workers there. She says SEIU got a neutrality agreement with the employer after a long struggle and the elections that was scheduled was no back-room, sweetheart deal. And she says CNA organizers interjected themselves at the last minute to derail the election.
[Vaughn]: “I think it's reprehensible that an organization that claims to be pro-worker would do no work at all for organizing and come in the last minute and try to sabotage an election. I personally resent is as a worker. I think they should be held accountable."

Springfield Regional Medical Center RN Sue Allen tells her story of hope, hard work, disappointment, and disgrace in her own words in the Springfield News-Sun today. Sue does not work for or get paid by any union. She is a nurse of 33 years who saw her dream dashed and her workplace and patients disrespected last week. Don’t miss it.
Note: I am an SEIU staffer who has been working with Sue and her colleagues to tell their story to all who want to hear the truth.
