Stopunions.com is happy to help you out. If you have anymore information, flyers or announcements you would like posted here just contact me through the site.
In the spirit of the season, please enjoy the revised Christmas carol that we are entertaining our employees and nurses with during this Christmas season:
CNA – Let It Snow-Job!”
If working here is so frightful,
And the union’s so delightful,
If you think what they say is so,
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!”
Well their sandwiches are so tasty,
But please don’t be too hasty,
To sign that union card,
Be on your guard! On your guard! On your guard!
When they finally say good-bye,
How I’ll love staying home in my bed!
Win the vote, and they’ll squeeze me tight!
Oh it’s their dues that I’ll dread Bum, bum…
Their fire is surely dying,
They may as well stop trying.
It’s our dues that they love so,
CNA you can go! You can go, you can go!”
C-N -A – You can go, You can GOOoooooo!
Don’t forget to take your folding table and your LITTER..uh, literature!
Revised lyrics by Meri Van Gorden. Please enjoy and utilize!

We at St. Joseph, Orange, CA are encouraged by these postings, this website and the encouraging letter from the Modesto Nurses in our grass roots efforts to stop the union from hijacking the hospital of their promises of higher wages ($), greater benefits ($) and pensions ($), all under the guise of patient safety. I agree with my compatriots that their goal is truly about obtaining more money via dues to promote their political agenda. Why not donate directly to your own particular political cause, and leave the middleman (CNA) out?! That way, you are not just buying sandwiches from some local, tony restaurant to support the next hospital in their line of fire to usurp power.

At this very moment, there is an internal debate taking place inside Memorial Medical Center on whether or not to unionize. As registered nurses at Memorial, many of us believe that unionizing with the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United is not in the best interest of our nurses, our hospital or our patients.
Memorial is a great employer that excels in patient safety, gives us raises twice per year and appreciates us. Our management is hands-on and helps us to further our profession. They have an open-door policy, flexible scheduling and value our input. Memorial is our family, and we all work together as a team.
The California Nurses Association pressures nurses and spreads misinformation about our hospital in an attempt to obtain votes and the support of political figures. They have been dishonest about patient staffing ratios and patient safety. Memorial meets and often surpasses state staffing regulations. Patients are always given exceptional care by qualified nurses. CNA’s techniques can be underhanded and deceitful at times. Although prohibited, union representatives have been caught inside the hospital on multiple occasions. They have further lost respect by attempting to persuade RNs to vote yes while actively performing job duties.
If we become unionized, nurses will be forced to pay dues, even if they don’t wish to have representation. Over a lifetime, a single RN can pay more than $50,000 in dues. This money is used to support political causes that are not necessarily aligned with the views of our nurses. We deserve a partner that uses our money to better our organization, not the organizations of others.
Many nurses are worried about the length of time it takes for CNA to gain contracts with hospitals. For example, Sutter Tracy unionized with CNA two years ago but has still failed to secure a contract.
Nurses also fear the loss of income that can occur when being forced to strike. CNA has no “strike fund” to help us support our families while off work.
Strikes negatively impact the nurses, hospital and patients involved. We don’t want to be forced to abandon patients during their most vulnerable time. Our patients trust that we will make them our utmost priority and give them the highest quality of care. The patient that comes to Memorial Medical Center does not want to go anywhere else. There is no need for a union at our facility.
Beverly Epstein, a registered nurse at Memorial Medical Center, reflects the viewpoints of nurses who “wish to remain union free” in compiling this article.

The California Nurses Association will STRIKE for days for “patient safety” their nursing supporters walking out on their job and neglecting their duty demanding MONEY, Demanding PENSIONS (money), demanding benefit improvements(money) all in the name of patient safety. Hypocrites! The hospitals scramble to contract with agency nurses to fill the gaps in staffing at a huge cost.
The UNION then files another BOGUS charge claiming patient safety and understaffing is created when the company schedules meetings to educate the nurses on their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. 60 to 90 minute meetings. The nurses are covered by other nurses who work for the hospital.Patient safety isn’t violated, staffing is maintained. The charges are pure garbage and the union(s) file them every time there is a drive to organize a hospital or company. Its a pure disinformation campaign, a mind game they play on the unknowing public.
It appears that the CNA is desperate in their attempt to win. They are trying to prevent anti-union RN’s from having a voice in the upcoming election. Every nurse who has attended “informational meetings” during their shift, has had their patients covered by another nurse during the hour long absence.
