Guest commentary: Labor Day ’07: Union bosses’ agenda scary By RICK BERMAN, Special to the Daily News

"In an effort to rebuild their former influence, union officials have drawn up a political agenda that should give all Americans shivers.

It centers around stealing rights from employees and rigging federal laws to monkey-wrench business operations"

There are some great comments though , as I see there is an organizing drive for Nurses in Naples , Florida going on , as one of the commentors said:

"Rick Berman: I found it interesting that you chose Labor Day to disburse your antiunion rhetoric, especially in Naples with the upcoming union vote of the NCH nurses. How timely. It would seem that a more fair and balanced perspective should also be considered. Research indicates that your Center For Union Facts is an arm of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and associated with the Right to Work Committee. I've read that you are the CEO and your wife is the bookkeeper. The organization is reported to be funded to the tune of 10 million dollars a year. I have also read that you have been connected with the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and also have been employed by the Employment Roundtable. You apparantely professionally lobbied for the networking of industry, labor lawyers,and some government officials, which operate out of the same office as Berman and Company. With respect to labor unions, some of your comments were factual. You did give credit to unions for improving conditions for union and non-union workers. Then you immediately inject that corruption and embezzelment runs rampant among these unions. However, you failed your fair and balanced testby not mentioning The widespread corruption and embezzlement that exists within "big business". Let us not forget Enron, Global Crossing, Tyco, WorldCom, Arthur Anderson, and lest we not forget that bastion of Federal favoritism: Halliburton and their sidekick Kellogg, Brown and Root. In 2001 and 2002 alone there were over 17 corporations who were directly responsible for employeess loss of pensions, 401K's, health benefits and most importantly their jobs. Most of these people were non-union. Where is your outrage? Consider New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina: Halliburton and KBR were awarded, by the Government, a no bid contract to repair a U.S. base there. They laid off New Orleans citizens(who desperately needed the jobs) and brought in third world workers. The contractors were paid with U.S. taxpayer money. Where is the protection for the U.S.worker. Where is the outrage?"-charlieward

Richard , get this guy to visit our site , there are also a bunch of other great comments there :

"I worked in the steel industry for 35 years and was a union worker for 16 years and then management for 19. The union and company worked together and needed each other most of the time. Even during a company lockout of 6 months when I had to do a union job as management, the union workers helped me do thier job [ by telephone], to protect thier job for the future.
Look what's happened to our country and it's workers in the last 25 years with the decline of the unions. We need them now more than ever."-bossman1

Monday hearing may settle terms of NCH union vote

By Liz Freeman (Contact)

Friday, September 14, 2007

A hearing has been scheduled for Monday between a nurse unionizing group at the NCH Healthcare System and hospital officials in hopes of reaching an accord over whether a union election will be held, according to an official with the National Labor Relations Board in Tampa.

“Nobody asked for the hearing. We set it because we have a petition but no election (scheduled),” said Karen LaMartin, assistant to the NLRB regional director in Tampa. “We want it to move along.”

LaMartin said the hearing, which would be held in Miami, could be called off if the nurses’ group and its potential union, SEIU Florida Healthcare, and NCH representatives reach an agreement on terms of an election. That can happen right up to the hearing.

“We’re hoping to get an agreement, and in most cases the parties do agree to an election,” LaMartin said.

Union officials filed a petition Aug. 30 with the labor board to hold a union election among NCH’s registered nurses, who earlier this summer began collecting pledge cards in support of a union vote. The nurses submit they gathered the required 30 percent of signatures needed among the 850 registered nurses to request the election.

Nurses began the unionizing effort after mounting discontent with NCH administration over reduced work hours, higher patient ratios, and nurses being temporarily reassigned to floors without the proper training for those specialized patient-care floors. The nurses say such belt-tightening measures has been detrimental to patient care and administrators have not been giving them a voice.

NCH officials, who hired a national firm to oppose the union effort, has countered with “round-the-clock” sessions between management and employees to hear their grievances. Hospital administration has reduced patient ratios, addressed security concerns at North Naples Hospital and lifted salary caps to allow for raises of 8 percent to 10 percent for the nurses in October.

Hospital administrators say management and workforce differences can be resolved without the involvement of the Florida affiliate of the nation’s largest health-care union, which NCH officials say is more interested in collecting the nurses’ dues than representing the nurses and their particular concerns at the bargaining table.

Dr. Allen Weiss, president and chief executive officer of NCH, said Thursday that the hospital also wants to get their election moving along and is working with SEIU’s attorneys to work out the details. He said an agreement could happen before Monday’s hearing, which was scheduled once before and delayed.

“It’s quite possible,” Weiss said. “It depends on the other lawyers. Our attorney has spoken with them over the last few days. We go day by day.”

Matt Hourihan, a SEIU spokesman, declined comment about the election issues that have come into play.

The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Miami at the federal building.

 

Wonder what happened at that hearing , looks like a story on it's own . Someone wanna update it and publish ? I know there must be someone in Florida around here , eh ?
