My family have lived in Texas for a century, I went to college there, and I'm not sure any of us would have predicted that the Lone Star State would become one of our nation's real unionizing hotspots.
But it has.
Over the last few years, a genuine national nurses movement has coalesced, giving RNs a collective voice at long last. 150,000 nurses have come together in a new form of patient advocacy.
And now Texas nurses are building their own nurses movement, from the ground up, with NNOC-Texas, the National Nurses Organizing Committee-Texas. Texas has become one of the real hotspots for the national nurses movement, and so far over 10,000 RNs (!!) have participated in some form of activism, whether that's organizing their facility, marching on the state Capitol, or phonebanking legislators.
