The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) have signed a cooperation agreement to promote passage of the Employee Free Choice Act and unionization in the healthcare sector.
Concurrently, SEIU and CNA/NNOC jointly endorsed measures to create an expanded “Medicare for all” system or to allow states to adopt a single-payer system as an element of healthcare reform.
In February, CNA/NNOC, with 85,000 current members, also announced that it will be uniting with the United American Nurses and the Massachusetts Nurses Union to form a 150,000 member union. Steps to complete that unification are continuing.
