On Monday, August 22nd, BCNU's Council voted unanimously to withdraw from CFNU. BCNU's process to expand its membership to include licensed practical nurses contravenes the Canadian Labour Congress constitution.
The following is a message from Linda Silas, president, Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) regarding BCNU's decision to withdraw from CFNU.
For CFNU's National Executive Board, this is a difficult time, but a time where we are focused on our future and on making it a stronger future.
In the last 30 years we have seen provincial nurses unions across the country join CFNU and some have had to leave for a period of time when provincial union objectives differ from national goals.
As your national president, I commit to meeting our challenges as we stay focused on being your national voice to improve our workplaces and our public health care system.
I encourage you to get in touch with your provincial union with any questions and concerns you may have about BCNU’s decision to withdraw from CFNU at this time.
