MNA RNs are weighing in about the devastating impact the so-called “Right to Work” legislation would have on everyday Minnesota families. Here’s just one of the heartfelt letters MNA RNs are sending to their local legislators:
I urge you Senator Vandeveer to vote No on the right to work issue.
I have been a RN for almost 20 years and have been supported by my union for as many years. I also have family and friends who are nurses in southern states and I hear on a daily basis their horror stories. Unrealistic patient work loads, no support staff, monthly turnover and constantly living under the threat of losing their license if something goes wrong. Please don’t turn Minnesota into a Southern state who doesn’t have the strong reputation of providing excellent medical care as we do. See the Pioneer Press on where we rank and see the list of who comes in last. I will tell you the last place states are your RIGHT TO WORK states.
