CNA President Cathy Kennedy, RN calls for union nurses to take a bold stance in the fight against the current fascist takeover. We're excited to move forward, grow our numbers, and increase our militancy to new heights!

Prime Healthcare has a decades-long pattern of breaking the law and cutting services. Nurses are organizing to hold them accountable. Share your Prime Health patient story with us! act.nnu.org/survey/prime-share-your…

Palantir helps ICE target, track, and detain our neighbors. This tech has no place in our communities. On Sept. 30, we’re marching to San Francisco’s ICE detention center and saying: Patients over Palantir!

Nurses rallied early outside of Tri-City to demand accountability for Sharp Healthcare's broken promises! The short-staffing AND increased patient loads are untenable for workers and our patients.

Bay Area nurses turned out in support of our former colleague Maureen Wanjiru Ngure, RN. She was abducted by ICE and is being held in a detention facility in Louisiana. 😡 We’re marching and making calls to #FreeMaureen. ✊

Prime Healthcare endangers patients and nurses by putting profits above all else. California nurses at Prime facilities on sympathy strike today were out to send a message: Prime's unjust retaliation against patient advocates will not be tolerated!

‼️Prime Healthcare has suspended or fired dozens of nurses ‼️ all for speaking up for our patients. Redding and Anaheim nurses are on sympathy strike today and standing with our colleagues. Our message to Prime: Reinstate the fired and suspended nurses and stop the retaliation!

Nurses across the country are rising up systemwide against Prime Healthcare because Prime endangers patients and nurses by putting profits above all else.

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Prime Healthcare's CEO, Prem Reddy, has no problem saying the quiet part out loud. This kind of profit-first mentality is responsible for unsafe staffing, missed breaks, and patients waiting too long for the care they need. Union nurses will not remain silent.

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
When Kaiser refuses to reinvest profits back into its hospitals, patient care suffers. Standing together is the best way that we can protect our licenses and make sure our patients get the care they deserve.

RNs canvassed the Brentwood & Laguna Beach neighborhoods where Prime Healthcare CEO Prem Reddy has homes. We're making sure neighbors know who they're living next to: A man who sees health care as a commodity, patients as profit centers, & retaliates against RNs who speak out.

Corporate medicine wants machines to overrule nurses, but we refused to take that lying down. Nurses fought to pass A.B. 1979 and A.B. 2575 — the strongest A.I. protections in the country! Governor Newsom: Sign these bills by Sept. 30! bit.ly/4xR56Cx

Billionaires and millionaires did not give us the right to organize, the 8‑hour work day, a 40‑hour work week, child labor laws, or a minimum wage. Workers did that! This Labor Day, we honor the victories that built our country and the fights that are still being waged. ✊

Kaiser rakes in billions of dollars. As union nurses, we’re here to make sure patients get the care they deserve.

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Kaiser is constantly trying to cut staff and threatens to implement untested, unregulated A.I. in our facility. That’s unacceptable for us as nurses, and it endangers our patients and their care. Roseville nurses are sounding the alarm on Kaiser. #PatientsNotProfits

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Nurses joined the picket line today outside of Kaiser’s LAMC, Oakland, and San Francisco hospitals to make sure Kaiser understands we mean business. Kaiser makes billions. We know they can afford a contract that puts patients first!

From Palo Alto to Los Angeles, hundreds of RNs, patients, and community allies mobilized to condemn Palantir's role supporting ICE kidnappings and imprisonment. Our demand is clear: Hospitals and elected officials must immediately cut ties with the A.I. giant!
021
California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Palantir's A.I.-powered surveillance and data analysis fuels ICE murders, mass deportation & detention, and illegal wars and genocide abroad. Nurses mobilized in L.A. outside of Thiel Capital to shine a light on these horrors. This kind of evil has no place in our communities!

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
At CommonSpirit facilities across CA, management is trying to justify layoffs of critical support staff as "efficiency." But nurses at St. Joseph rallied today to expose the truth: It’s corporate greed dressed up as a budget decision, and it puts patients at a huge safety risk!

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Nurses are already being asked to do more and more with fewer resources so that executives can keep their bonuses. The nurses at Glendale Memorial Hospital are demanding CommonSpirit management put patients before profits and rescind the layoffs or critical support staff!

California Nurses Association @calnurses.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Perfect example of execs cutting staff to turn a profit while our patients suffer: CommonSpirit is laying off critical support staff at St. Joseph's Medical Center. When we asked who would cover the work, management said "the nurses will do it." 😡 bit.ly/4hMWQyd

MAHA rhetoric isn't just dangerous to our health, but it also props up the Trump administration's fascist attacks on our communities AND funnels more profit to corporate health care. 😡 Union nurses are fighting back! ✊

This is not a drill: The Trump administration is using its power to intimidate, control, and silence anyone who has a different view than them. But we know exactly how to respond when the worst bosses try and silence us: We get louder. 📢

Union RNs are fighting for something BEYOND a public option because we know it isn't enough. We don't want a regressive proposal that moves us further away from our goal and makes the health care crisis worse. We're fighting for health care, guaranteed. We need #MedicareForAll.

Corporate bosses and the government are colluding to union bust because they know the truth: Unions are more popular than ever, and worker solidarity could topple the economic disparity they're desperate to hold onto. Let's show them our power! ✊ bit.ly/4wtzJgt

CommonSpirit Health thought they could quietly get away with laying off 175 frontline health care workers. Union nurses showed them how wrong they were today: We held a press conference and delivered a petition signed by ‼️ 5,000‼️ nurses to protest the layoffs!
