Nurse Talk Short | Victory for Nurses and Breast Exams with Implants.

Victory for Nurses in Northern California!
…AND a victory for nurses across the country! nnu

Last week, a federal administrative law judge with the National Labor Relations Board handed nurses a victory, finding Sutter Bay East Hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area engaged in illegal “unfair labor practices” when it unilaterally cut paid sick leave and eliminated all paid healthcare coverage for RNs who work less than 30 hours per week, affecting hundreds of nurses and their families.

The judge ordered the hospital chain to “rescind its unilateral changes and…make whole employees for any losses they have suffered…plus interest.” Sutter had maintained it projected expenses related to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, but would not “show their homework” to the judge. Why? Because there was no certainty or reason for their projected increases. Joanne Jung joins us to discuss the topic. To read more on this victory visit www.nationalnursesunited.org.

And of course email questions – How can you do a breast exam if you have implants?
