ABSTRACT

They [the workers] see management say one thing and the union say another. They see controversy. The hospital does what they want to do. I say, “You're seeing this, but you have every right to fight.” Some people are afraid to sign grievance forms. Threatened…. I've been places with them. I communicate with [the rep] and [the president] and I've been to a couple of retreats. I've learned a lot. That's what got me involved here. That makes me more of a participant here…. It gets you inspired. No limitations. You have to believe in something.
