Affiliation Agreement Between CNA, NUHW In Limbo
According to a post last week on the National Union of Healthcare Workers' website, "Top officials at the California Nurses Association are trying to dissolve the affiliation agreement that NUHW members overwhelmingly voted for in January 2013." Under the 2013 deal, the two unions said they "shared a unified vision that a strategic alliance of all who work side-by-side in hospitals and other health care settings best furthers" efforts to improve patient care and unionized workers' benefits and working conditions.
