SEIU Local 199 Takes Action to Protect Our Profession—and Our Privacy
SEIU Local 199 nurses are filing a lawsuit May 12, charging the California Nurses Association (CNA) illegally attained our private mailing list to send unsolicited literature.

"It's frankly scary that an out-of-state union like the CNA would have gotten their hands on our confidential, internal list-that's why we're going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this situation. No one in America should have to worry that their private information will be taken and used without their consent."

Recently, CNA sent mailers to Local 199 nurses using a list that we believe was obtained attained in an illegal way—not through the publicly-available state nurse registry.
This comes at a time when CNA is already using other underhanded tactics to prevent nurses from joining SEIU and other unions.
- Days before 8,300 hospital employees in Ohio were scheduled to vote in their union election, CNA organizers dressed in scrubs and posed as pizza delivery workers to gain access to patient care areas, urging nurses to “vote no” for SEIU.
- They’re also hurting nurses and other hospital employees by raiding hospitals in California, Nevada and Texas.
The CNA’s dishonest tactics in Iowa, Ohio, and other places around the country are threatening the gains nurses have made to improve patient care and workplace standards—that’s why SEIU nurses in Iowa are taking action to protect our hospitals now.

We will not let an outside union use illegal tactics to divide us and hurt the progress we've made in our hospitals and with
policy makers |
