More than 3,000 LPNs signed BCNU memberships, giving our
union a strong base of support
BCNU has moved to withdraw our application
to the Labour Relations Board for a vote to represent LPNs
in the Facilities Bargaining Association. Updated LPN information
shows the number of LPNs working in the facilities sector
is larger than anticipated, indicating a majority of provincial
LPNs did not sign BCNU membership applications by November
30, 2009.
At the same time, LPNs' organizing drive
to join BCNU has achieved a strong base of support. More
than 3000 LPNs signed BCNU membership applications, and BCNU
will continue to develop effective relationships with supporters
through our ongoing associate membership program.
We continue
to believe that all nurses should be in one union, and we
will continue to have dialogue with our own members and with
LPN activists.
For further information please call BCNU's
Organizing Department at 1.800.663.9991 Local 2602.
