Three nation’s largest nursing unions announced a merger to bring up unionization effort across the country. According to the chief of the union’s chief regional negotiator they have paid union boosters based in Dallas but now will add more. The three unions to merge are the United American Nurses, California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee and the Massachusetts Nurses Association.
They have an aggressive organizing program throughout the state of Texas. Nurses at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center in Houston became the first in Texas to vote to unionize. The Houston vote is important to the Dallas area because it could indicate how similar union votes might end here.
