Pomona Nurses Seeking to Kick Out Unwanted SEIU Union

Nurses at the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in California are today filing a decertification petition, which is a fancy way of saying they're asking for an election to kick out the unwanted SEIU Local 121RN union.

This should come as no suprise as the National Right to Work Foundation helped a nurse at the facility hit Local 121RN with federal charges for threatening nurses with arrests, jail, and fines for refusing to walk off the job during a union-ordered strike. Some union "representation."

Union operatives also distributed a threatening flier, despite a claim to the contrary by a top union official.

As Right to Work attorneys' efforts on behalf of Pomona nurses grab headlines, one noteworthy comment comes from SEIU union official Sue Weinstein. Aside from the issues of threats of fines, arrests, and jail:

As for the dues, Weinstein said the local has a policy not to collect dues retroactively.

The union operatives that widely distributed this flier (see underlined portion) must be unfamiliar with that policy.

Union officials are threatening nurses in Pomona, California, with fines, arrests, and jail for refusal to walk off the job during a union ordered strike early in October. Right to Work attorneys helped a nurse challenge this coercion earlier this week at the National Labor Relations Board.

Employees that do not want to abandon their jobs during a strike can learn more here.

The arrest threats sound all too familiar.
