You’ll find AMR’s articles first and our response immediately after.  Please check out what the boss wants to do to you. And then read how we want to protect your wages, benefits and rights. Then get involved to make sure AMR doesn’t get what it wants.

SEIU Nevada’s Exec. Vp Speaks Out on Blog

The following can be read in its entirety on SEIU International’s blog:

The Healthcare Law: Bringing Relief to Nurses and Patients

By Raushanah Abdullah, RN, SEIU Nevada

My fellow nurses and I are celebrating National Nurses Week this year by using it as an opportunity to make sure everyone in Nevada knows about the positive changes that the Affordable Care Act has made in the lives of nurses, patients and our community.

I have a real appreciation for what access to timely, quality care can mean because I am a nurse–but also because my husband is the recipient of a kidney transplant which saved his life.

CCT Paramedics Win Union Recognition/Rights

CCT Paramedics have won an important decision that protects their right to a voice in the workplace! Tuesday, March 13, the National Labor Relations Board handed down a decision ordering AMR to recognize CCT Paramedics as part of the SEIU bargaining unit (an excerpt from the decision can be read below). This means that ALL CCT Paramedics are protected by the grievance process and are entitled to all the rights and protections our Union has to offer.

This also means CCT medics will be able to attend our upcoming bargaining session on Monday, March 19. Please attend. We fought to have your voice at the table!

From the NLRB Decision:

Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the Regional Director that the disputed Critical Care Transport paramedics (CCT paramedics) are included in the unit represented by the Service Employees International Union, Local 1107 (the Union).” - NLRB CASE 28-UC-60436


For More Information

To learn more about this decision, our rights as a Union members, or for any other questions you may have, please contact our reps.: Alex Ocampo @ 285-7854, David Prater @ 885-2188 or Kevita White-Leslie @ 661-675-6089
