VU ALL OVER AGAIN — Washoe Med nurses picket during
a one-day strike
on 6-23-2001. The issues were the same as during a 1990
organizing drive and remain today: Understaffing which erodes
patient care so that the conglomerate may profit and proliferate
on the backs of health care consumers and taxpayers. |

Editor's
Note: Many of the news links on this
site are from Nevada dailies. In late 2006, the Reno Gannett-Journal
began nuking much of its archive. If you encounter any broken
links, I encourage you to contact
them and send
me a copy. On the one hand, they want to build their web traffic
in order to increase the price of ads. On the other hand, they
are killing that very traffic. Far be it from me to reconcile
the Dilbert-style motivations of an outfit for which a 38 percent
net profit is not enough. If you can explain it, please enlighten
me. (Before
you e-mail me, please read this bulletin — AB)
UPDATE: In early 2008, the Las Vegas Sun "upgraded "
its website, nuking more than a dozen years of links. If you find
an orphaned Sun story, search their site for the title.
