The National Federation of Nurses (NFN) was launched April 15 in Port- land in conjunction with the Oregon Nurses Association’s annual conven- tion. The new federation will represent more than 70,000 registered nurses in the six states (15,000 RNs in Washing- ton and 11,500 RNs in Oregon). The six state associations disaffili- ated from the United American Nurses (UAN) in December of 2007. The UAN is an affiliate of the AFL-CIO. The new National Federation of Nurses is an independent federation and is not affiliated with the AFL-CIO or Change to Win. However, the Oregon and Washing- ton nurses associations are affiliated with their respective state labor federa- tions. Paul Goldberg, assistant executive director of labor relations for the Ore- gon Nurses Association said the union will continue its relationship with the Oregon AFL-CIO. “ONA plans to continue to pay local dues and be a part of the Oregon AFL- CIO,” he said. Barbara Crane, a critical care nurse at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Cen- ter in Smithtown, N.Y., was elected to serve as president of the National Fed- eration of Nurses. She also is the cur- rent president of the New York State Nurses Association. Two officers from the Oregon Nurses Association — Julie Shuff and President Bruce Humphreys — were elected vice president and director, re- spectively, of the NFN. Kim Armstrong, president of the Washington Nurses Association, was elected secretary of the NFN. New resource database available for jobless The AFL-CIO and Working Amer- ica launched a new Web site called Un- employment Lifeline. On this site you can find local resources, discussion boards, cost saving tips and advice on how to make it through unemployment and back into a good job. The site is still new and resources are continually being added. If you know of resources that aren’t listed make sure to send them in through the available link, and if you don’t find what you need, check out the discussion boards and keep checking back for new re- sources. The Web site is at: www.unemploymentlifeline.com. SERVING UNIONS FOR OVER 25 YEARS BEAVERTON, OR (503) 644-1400 WILSONVILLE, OR (503) 682-8552 Northwest Dental Associates, P.C.
