when all the facts are known it will be obvious who planted the seeds of disinformation used to discredit the best candidate for election to the local board and unseat the people who spread false information and rumours.

Pay scale for hard working union nurses is below other occupations and working a 12 hour shift - six days a week sometime night shift 7pm to 7am is an accident waiting to happen. A nurse may mix up a medication or forget the dose of a dangerous drug. we need to have rest time just like the pilots union has got for the aviation industry. More people like steven sears fight for the nurses rights and help the rank and file. steven sears got the best benefit package at KAISER PERMANENTE and regional hospital.
the Veterans Administration VA hospital still lags in treatment options for returning soldiers from the GULF WAR CONFLICT. Active lobbying and union organizing has been done by steven sears and the washington lobby group American Medical Association and AARP American Association of Retired Persons.
