CNA and Retiring Head RoseAnn DeMoro Leave Labor in Critical Condition
Dubbed by many the nations most progressive labor union the CNA in fact provides a case study in how organized labor the engine for creating the most prosperous working class in the known world finds itself at deaths door at the exact moment when American workers are in dire need of advocates.
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Cmon people, what are some more nurses values?
I was nearly four months into my stint in the communications office at the California Nurses Association, or CNA, when I found myself in a half-lit, mildewed, second-floor conference room in the unions downtown Oakland office, seated among a clutch of maybe seven or eight other communications staffers, all white with the exception of myself and an Asian woman.
The task this late April afternoon was to identify nurses values, which I had assumed meant that I would help pore over the results of a nurses questionnaire to produce a coherent ad campaign.
Instead, the communications manager, Sarah Cecile, stood astride an easel that leaned like a sprinter at the finish line, her magic marker poised to add to the wan list of nouns that glared accusingly at me, reducing Hegelian dialectical inquiry to a game of charades.
Wait, I said, were telling the nurses what their values should be? Shouldnt we be asking the nurses what their values are you know, like in a survey, or a poll?

As for the Sirota tweet, I guess the objectionable part is calling it Bidencare?

DeMoro is one of the idiots who loudly supported Nader over Al Gore in 2000.
