CHECK THE FACTS: Independent Review Board report on Charges on Rome Aloise, February 10, 2016
A rank-and-file reform slate, United for Change Local 431, has defeated the incumbent Local 431 Fresno officers by a 60-40 margin. The results mark a clear mandate from members for a militant and active union.
Some 2,000 nurses at Unity Point Health are on the verge of winning their union election to join Teamsters Local 90. Nurses voted 57% to 43% in favor of the union at Wednesday’s vote count. Some challenged ballots need to be resolved before the final results are official. But they will not be enough to reverse the outcome. Nurses are confident and ready to head to negotiate their first Teamster contract.
