Nurse Talk Radio Features Senator Bernie Sander's Workplace Democracy Act
With the attacks on workers’ rights nurses applaud Senator Bernie Sander's Workplace Democracy Act. "This bill is desperately needed by all non-union workers across the country who need a union and who want a union, but who are denied their right to freedom of association and the right to bargain collectively because of employer harassment, intimidation and opposition", said RN and Co-President of National Nurses United, Jean Ross. The bill is a topic of discussion on this week’s Nurse Talk Radio program.

Nurses Condemn VA MISSION Act, Urge No Vote on Legislation ‘Endangering Healthcare for Millions of Veterans’
The 150,000 nurses of National Nurses United—including 11,000 in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs—today condemned the VA MISSION Act (HR 5674), in a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives, urging representatives to oppose the legislation, which would allow for the VA system to be dismantled and privatized, endangering healthcare for millions of veterans.
Oppose the VA Mission Act (HR 5674)
Dear Representative,
On behalf of the 150,000 Registered Nurses represented by National Nurses United, including 11,000 nurses that work in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), we are writing to urge you to oppose the VA MISSION Act (HR 5674) when it comes to the House floor. The VA provides a world class, integrated healthcare system that is uniquely designed to address the needs of our nation’s veterans. HR 5674 would allow for the VA system to be dismantled and privatized, endangering healthcare for millions of veterans.
