But this is not my point -- it's not a crappy backroom deal. It's a deal that will let them improve standards for Tenet RNs in TX, help improve patient care for patients at THC hostitals in TX, and hopefully provide a beachhead for organizing other RNs in TX. See the story link below. The pathetic thing is that CNA can't express the same thing about SEIU's campaign in OH.

What CNA did in OH was the exact opposite of a "unionizing attempt."
