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

Send to friendDear 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.
Throughout this process I have discovered that the work done by you and your organization have significantly impacted the labor movement and unions. However, I discovered that the work done has a much greater implication to all society because the individuals that indirectly benefit from your work far outnumber those that are directly involved. This is seen with this article: those that indirectly benefit include spouses, family members, friends, patients, family members of patients, students and other healthcare professionals, and the list goes on; in essence it is immeasurable the degree to which people are indirectly affected. When this information is disseminated, it facilitates a labor movement that improves nurses' working conditions, and ultimately the health and well being of the individual and the family unit, and so improves public health.
Given the above, one can conclude that you are in effect a public health leader. The information you disseminate benefits a vast array of individuals, and affects one's health and collectively the health of society.
With much respect and gratitude,
Meredith J. Scannell
