of the
Week

This website will provide you with factual information about the negative impact the MNA could have on you, our patients, our hospital, and our community.
Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA) representation of SSH nurses could have a profoundly negative impact on our relationships and the high quality of care that you and others provide. We want every nurse to be fully informed.
The MNA is trying again to convince SSH nurses to make it their legal representative here at South Shore Hospital.
Past Failed Attempts by MNA to Engage SSH Nurses
This is not the first time the MNA has tried to organize the nurses here. You told them you were not interested in 2001 by voting for your colleagues and South Shore Hospital and against the MNA by a two to one margin in a Labor Board election. When the MNA tried again in 2003 and 2005, you told them loud and clear that you were not interested, and they gave up. But the MNA is back again to try and interest you in following them down their path of failed leadership that unfortunately has been experienced by some of your fellow nurses on the South Shore at places like Brockton Hospital and Quincy Medical Center.
