All unions do is take your money. The hospital I just started working at has a union. SEIU, they were picked by the hospital corp, HCA, when the nurses were organizing. Hospital admin fixed it so if the nurses voted to unionize they could only get SEIU, the crap union. Now we all have to pay 1.6% of our hard earned money to SEIU, and nothing has changed. I met the union rep, and she is a nut case. You bet they want to keep her in the position. The nurses would do better with out the unions.
