If you've never heard of Rose Ann DeMoro or the California Nurses Association, you can find them giving right-wing talking points to conservatives, busting up union organizing drives, or working against Democratic candidates for President.
* The Wall Street Journal recently used the CNA to rebut SEIU's fight against private equity firms and their impact on workers and consumers. The Pennsylvania GOP used them to smear Barack Obama by perpetuating the worst right-wing frames against organized labor.
*The CNA has taken away the opportunity of thousands of workers, registered nurses and low-wage housekeeping and dietary workers from forming a union and rebuilding labor's power. Just last month, days before Ohio nurses and hospital workers were set to vote to form a union, the CNA, for their own selfish goals, came and disrupted the elections. Their efforts succeeded -- and today, those 8,000 workers are without a union.
* Meanwhile, Rose Ann DeMoro and the California Nurses Association remain close with Ralph Nader, even endorsing his failed presidential bid knowing the damage four years of George Bush would mean to the country.
