NNOC wins an election in Nevada

The National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC), which is affiliated with the California Nurses Association won its first election in Nevada. Registered nurses at Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Reno voted by over 64 percent to join the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC). According to the press release link Nevada becomes the fourth state, joining California, Illinois, and Maine, where CNA/NNOC represents RNs in collective bargaining.

With the departure of Ohio, New York, Oregon, and Washington State Nursing Associations from the ANA-affiliated, United American Nurses (UAN); it remains to be seen which national union represents the largest numbers of RNs for collective bargaining.

Is it the UAN, CNA/NNOC, or the SEIU?
