Dear Fellow CRONA Nurses,
Today the hospitals informed us that they are unilaterally implementing their last, best and final offer with additional take-aways effective February 7, 2011. They have also chosen not to implement all the benefits they have agreed to give us.
We are very disappointed, but not surprised, that the hospitals have chosen to treat the nurses, once again, with disrespect and vindictiveness. Everyone should understand that this is a declaration of war by the hospitals against CRONA and the nurses, and a blatant attempt to try and force us to accept a bad contract. The hospitals need to understand that such behavior on their part will simply worsen relations and not be to their benefit.
As in the past, we urge all nurses to stand in unity and not allow the arrogance of a big business such as SHC and LPCH divide us. Do not trust what the hospitals and your managers will be saying to you. As we have seen in the past, they are not above spreading misinformation in an attempt to confuse people. Rather, watch the CRONA website for information about future meetings and actions we will be taking. Not everything we are planning or doing will be made public for obvious reasons.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
- Lorie Johnson
- President
- CRONA
