Wednesday, March 11, 2009 :
Three of the country's top organizations of direct care registered nurses have come together to form a new national nurses union that that is advocating for a single-payer national health insurance program.
The new union unifies the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, United American Nurses, and the Massachusetts Nurses Association into a 150,000-member association -- making it the largest registered nurses union in U.S. history. We speak with Geri Jenkins, a registered nurse and co-president of the union.http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/03/11/18576211.php
