You would think that Sen. Feinstein would be a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, wouldn’t you?

Representing this state, coming from her city, in light of the broken union election system we face and the heartbreak it inflicts on American workers…she should.

RNs are especially invested in the Employee Free Choice Act because unionized nurses save lives, and because hospital owners are some of the most vicious, unethical, and criminal union-busters out there.

So tomorrow, 1200 RNs will make a house call to Sen. Feinstein’s house, demanding that she cosponsor this life-saving, long-overdue legislation. They’ll leave a rose with a personalized note explaining their story of how being a unionized RN has changed their life…or saved someone else’s.

Deborah Burger, RN, co-President of CNA  says:

“In the past, Senator Feinstein has said she supported the bill, but appears to be wavering.  1,200 RNs are making this house call to let her know that employers are trying to silence us when we advocate in facilities, and that patients end up paying the price for this union-busting.  Employers are breaking the law in their harassment of nurses, and we deserve a free choice and a fair chance to speak up for ourselves.”

Trade unionists and supporters are invited to attend:
