January 14th 2010 -  Mountain View Hospital Las Vegas RN's lost their voice and independence today, losing to the California Nurses Association/NNOC in a 240 to 152 vote. Months ago their management accepted a "Neutrality Agreement" with the labor union. This agreement greatly limits the ability of staff who are against unionizing to educate their coworkers while allowing union organizers and pro-union activists virtual free rein.

July 21st 2009 -  There was supposed to be a vote July 21st and 22nd 2009 to decide if Mountain View Hospital Las Vegas Nevada nurses choose the California Nurses Association as their union. After months and months of organizing and spending thousands and thousands of dollars collected from the dues of it's members, the CNA filed a petition to block the election they demanded. Nurses of Mountain View are outraged that the CNA refused to hear the voice of the nurses even after the union and the NLRB was presented with a petition signed by hundreds of Mountain View employees demanding that the election go forward. Calls to the NLRB confirmed that it was the CNA who requested the election blocked.

A key point at the rally was the California Nurses Associations support of abortion and abortion legislation including partial birth abortion. Catholic nurses were shocked by the stand of the CNA and many were brought to tears as a priest of the hospital spoke out in the abortion issue and urged RN's to consider this when entering the voting booth.

December 2006 - Registered Nurses at Tri-City Medical Center have filed for decertification of the California Nurses Association only days after approving what many nurse say was a terrible contract that gained them nothing they did not already have. Nurses voted to approve this contract only to help move things forward and be able to show the world what little the CNA can actually accomplish.

The CNA posted a very deceiving victory page on their website marking Tri-City Medical Centers new contract. http://www.calnurse.org/media-center/press-releases/2006/december/page.jsp?itemID=29048253ÊThe announcement leads readers to believe that the CNA won the Tri-City RN's a pension plan. The truth is that Tri-City isÊa district hospital and its employees had a pension plan long before the CNA came along. Sources within Tri-City tell stopunions.com that the new contract has changed nothing. Many believe that the pay increases cited in the contract are lessÊthan they would have received without the CNA. If you then deduct the dues payments of up to $1008.00 a year then the contract is a huge loser for the Nurses there.

A group of Nurses have started a blog http://www.sofedupnow.blogspot.com/ to make public their dissatisfaction with the California Nurses Association
