Big Union Withholds MNA Ballot Endorsement

If Question 1 passes it will transfer $1 billion to a single component of the healthcare system – RNs – while resulting in service closures, increased insurance premiums, potential hospital shutdowns, and layoffs of other members of the hospital workforce. The union that represents many members of that non-RN workforce – Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – said last week it is staying out of the Question 1 debate and is not endorsing either side.
