Health Sciences Association says BCNU working on another raid
VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980)

Fresh off of plucking licensed practical nurses from the Hospital Employees Union the BC Nurses union has launched another raid.
 
Health Sciences Association President Reid Johnson says the BCNU is trying to grab about 60 registered psychiatric nurses at Royal Columbian Hospital. 

"The BCNU has raided our members that work there who are registered psychiatric nurses so we've objected to the nurses application for those members at the Labour Board and so we are hoping to hear in the next month what the Labour Board's ruling is on the legality of the raid."

Johnson says the nurses have already voted but a  count won't done until the Labour Board ruling.
 
He says the HSA has represented registered psychiatric nurses for decades.

    I work in health care and this raid like the last makes sense to me!!! Now all we need are private hospitals like in France which has the best health care system in the world and spends less money then Canada per capita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      @BieberStoner69 uh...duh? after looking at your profile and other comments you posted I wonder no longer why the state of our health care is the shape it is. Maybe book a few years off and get a sense of reality and possibly some maturity. I certainly don't want someone like you working in the health care system, not even as a custodian.

    thanks.....you made me smile....yet I'm concerned about you ...and being a health worker ? just a suggestion...? maybe?

    Find a way to go back to beloved France....and find out...1st hand about your claims. (been there,,,done that...and have the T shirt for all of Europe & North Africa...and the previously Slavic countries as well...) None have a "better" system other than acuantability...that is seriously lacking here....don't you think?...oops..I just invited you to comment....when you need to hop on a plane...and go to Germany...Austria...Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, Spain...should i go on? OH....the Netherlands...(remember your geography?)

    Enlighten us....how that is sooooooo much better, and YOU speak from AUTHORITY....YOU are a health care worker...stoner and all....!!!!LOL...and been there,,, and know how it works....

    I have,,, and you have no idea who I am...but i love playing with claims..(not a discussion) that are less than valid....LOVE you type of folks...You know it, but when faced with the reality...become absue and beligerent.

    Take your shot...err...puff!

      @Cuddly Dudley For hip surgery in France the wait list is 2 weeks and at VGH it is 30 weeks! I just looked it up on the ministry of health website.

      So you enjoy having senior wait and suffer? Come on Molly McButter going on vacation to Europe is one thing (I have also been) but waiting for surgery is another.

      Go back to France, Why? I'd rather help reduce the wait times here. No wonder you cannot get a date in Van. City with a attitude like that and what is you BMI, my friends are all waiting here laughing their butts off!! LOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOOLOL
