  • Letter to the Editor: "A Flawed Referendum for Massachusetts Nurses"

    Dear Herman,

    Thank you for sending me the article "A Flawed Referendum for Massachusetts Nurses." I truly enjoyed reading the article and appreciate the time and effort you and your colleagues took to highlight the issues we are facing within our union.

    It's unfortunate that it took this issue for me to realize that organizations such as yours exist, but I'm fortunate that I had the opportunity to talk with you and your colleagues about our issues as well as learning about the Association for Union Democracy.

  • A flawed referendum for Massachusetts nurses

    Registered nurses voted on whether or not to merge their Massachusetts Nurses Association into a new union along with the California Nurses Association and the United American Nurses. The process was a disappointing beginning in the quest for what so many nurses want: one strong democratic union to represent nurses who are now scattered and divided among a bewildering array of competing unions. Of the MNA's 23,000 members only some 500 were able to vote in the union's referendum.
