The new union is affiliated with the national AFL-CIO. The organizations held a founding convention Dec. 7 in Phoenix, Arizona. Boasting 150,000 members, founders describe NNU as “the largest union and professional organization of registered nurses in U.S. history.” NNU will be governed by an execu- tive council composed of three co-pres- idents, a secretary-treasurer, and 11 vice presidents. Rose Ann DeMoro was named ex- ecutive director. She has served as ex- ecutive director of CNA since 1993 and is a national AFL-CIO vice president. Elected co-presidents were Karen Higgins, an RN from Massachusetts; Jean Ross, secretary-treasurer of the UAN; and Deborah Burger, an RN with CNA. Martha Kuhl of CNA was tapped as secretary-treasurer. Convention delegates adopted a constitution and announced plans to move quickly to “organize all direct care RNs into a single organization ca- pable of exercising influence over the health care industry, governments, and employers,” and expand the voice of di- rect care RNs and patients in public policy, including the enactment of safe nurse-to-patient ratios and patient ad- vocacy rights in Congress. The term “direct care” nurse is meant to distin- guish them from nurses who work as supervisors. Stewart Acuff, assistant to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, told con- vention delegates: “You are going to make a difference for this country by uniting your power and strengthening your voice. The founding of the NNU is a major step forward in the fight to achieve health care for every American and to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.” (Editor’s Note: In December 2007, nurses associations from Oregon, Washington, Montana, Ohio, New Jer- sey, and New York disaffiliated from the UAN. In April 2009 those six unions formed the independent National Fed- eration of Nurses. NFN represents more than 70,000 registered nurses in those six states, including 15,000 in Washington and 11,500 in Oregon. The Oregon Nurses Association is an affili- ate of the Oregon AFL-CIO, and the Washington Nurses Association is affil- iated with the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO.)
