(March 11, 2002)<\/b>  \u2014 Ending a year-long union legal assault and harassment campaign against a nurse who refused to abandon her critically ill patients during a strike at Stanford Hospital, the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, has dismissed a union-levied $2,500 fine.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee for Recognition of Nursing Achievement (CRONA) union levied the retaliatory $2,500 fine on nurse Barbara Williams when she would not walk off the job in a June 2000 strike.  With the help of National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys, Williams beat the fine by arguing that it was arbitrarily assessed, and the union\u2019s own bylaws did not allow it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than punish Barbara Williams, she should have been rewarded as a hero and a credit to her profession,\u201d said <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>, Vice President of the National Right to Work Foundation.  \u201cShe had the courage to put her patients needs first rather than the union officials\u2019 agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the protracted legal battle with the union, Williams has faced extensive harassment by union activists in the hospital since she refused to walk off the job.  <\/p>\n<p>Asked by a local newspaper why she worked during the strike, Williams answered, \u201cI am a professional and I cannot abandon my patients.  I think it is wrong, morally and ethically.  I don\u2019t want to be a part of any organization that promotes this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case points up the growing trend of abuse in the health care industry that results from increasing unionization of nurses and other medical professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, National Labor Relations Board investigators recently found that CRONA union officials had violated Barbara Williams\u2019 <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Beck\"><i>Beck<\/i> rights<\/a>.  Under <i>Beck<\/i>, a Supreme Court case that Foundation attorneys argued and won in 1988, workers who are not protected by a Right to Work law may resign from formal union membership and withhold the portion of forced union dues spent on politics and other activities unrelated to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PALO ALTO, Calif.
