Calling all nurses: your vote matters

Your Vote MattersA message from Nancy Lyerla, chair of bargaining unit 17

2010 is an important election year for all state workers. The Unit 17 bargaining team urges all nurses to register to vote and help elect a new governor and state legislators who respect state services and state employees.
Our beautiful state is nearing meltdown, and we all have to do our part to help fix the problems. It is time to stand up for the workers and citizens of California.
