Nurses wanting to unionize face unlikely foe: Feinstein - BostonHerald.com:
"WASHINGTON — The nation’s nurses have an idea for how to improve health care: Allow more of them to unionize.
As they press Congress to approve a bill that would make it easier to organize, however, nurses and other unions have identified a big obstacle in Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
While President Barack Obama and a majority of Senate Democrats are behind the Employee Free Choice Act, Feinstein isn’t. After she scored a perfect 100 rating from the AFL-CIO last year, many union activists are scratching their heads, wondering why Feinstein has parted ways with them on their signature issue."
