In preparation for nursing home negotiations, NBNU is conducting a telephone survey to determine priorities for the nursing home negotiating committee. The survey, which began January 13, will continue for a three-week period. As well, NBNU sent out a survey to nursing home local presidents to find out what your top bargaining priorities are and to give us information about working conditions. We encourage all members of the nursing home bargaining unit to participate in the telephone survey and for local presidents to return their surveys to NBNU provincial office. Your participation in these surveys is important to the success of the next round of negotiations. Nurses: Investments needed to fix sick-time problemTuesday, 22 November 2011
