They Gain
A union is a business
With the prospect of signing up roughly 1,200 St. Joseph RNs, CNA stands to bring in
$179,520
a month
$2,154,240
a year
$6,462,720
over a 3-year contract
But the union gets its money, plus:
- the exclusive right to speak for you
- the ability to take more as you make more
- the right to charge you additional fees
Under CNA, you can be forced to pay dues or fees in order to keep your job – even if you don’t want the union
