LA-area nurses win biggest
union election in years
CALIFORNIA -- In what is believed to be the biggest U.S. election win for non-union hospital registered nurses in seven years, RNs at a Los Angeles-area hospital voted Sept. 11 to join the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United. With their hard-fought election win—by a count of 279 to 261 in secret ballot voting conducted by the National Labor Relations Board—RNs at Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, Calif. withstood what CNA characterized as a furious anti-union campaign by hospital management and its high-paid anti-union consultants.
