California Nurses Association joins AFL-CIO

Late last month the CNA joined ten other nurses unions across the country in the AFL-CIO after twelve years as an independent union. CNA rejoined on the condition of the Federation endorsing single-payer health care in the United States.

Would the faculty of the Contra Costa Community College District have more political pull as part of a larger organization? Hopefully that will be part of the discussion next time we talk about affiliation.
