This week, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) joined the Courage Campaign and numerous other unions and progressive organizations, supporting the Courage Campaign's California Progressive Election Center.

If you are a California voter, I encourage you to take a look and to take action.

The Courage Campaign's Progressive Election Center has phonebank options, volunteer options, videos and a downloadable and shareable CA Progressive Voter Guide, where you can find the progressive positions of 14 participating organizations including Planned Parenthood, PresentePAC, CREDO Action, the CA Federation of Teachers and AFSCME Council 57.

NUHW's positions are NO on 32, YES on 30 and 37.

Join me on the flip for more...

Workers at Santa Rosa Memorial hospital voted to join the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) last Friday after a six-year effort to form a union at their hospital.

The ballot count, in an election where 50%+1 of the votes were needed to win outright was:

283 NUHW
263 No Union
13 SEIU

As Randy Shaw wrote this morning:

NUHW has now won organized labor’s biggest hospital election victory of 2009, overcoming a joint “No Union” campaign mounted by management and SEIU.

For six years caregivers at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital have worked to form a union. After petitioning for an election this spring and waiting months for the NLRB to clear SEIU's blocking charges, Memorial workers will have the chance to form their union with the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW), this Thursday and Friday.

The election at Santa Rosa has been an uphill battle featuring a David, the workers at Memorial, versus two Goliaths: St. Joseph Health System and an anti-NUHW campaign by SEIU...

Local California blogger Adios Andy has a great post up about how workers from all over California are volunteering in the upcoming June election in which 10,000 Fresno County homecare workers are seeking to leave SEIU and join NUHW.

For the last month, Andy Stern's SEIU has been trying to stop worker activists at Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo from organizing to win an election and build their own union, NUHW. Today they counted the votes.

158 workers voted for NUHW.
24 workers voted for SEIU.

There's a story behind this David vs. Goliath victory, and it has implications for everyone who cares about the labor movement and grassroots efforts to build workers' power. Let me tell you why...

Last Saturday, over 700 healthcare workers met in San Francisco to hold the official founding convention of their union, the National Union of Healthcare Workers, a new, democratic, member-led union founded in California.

Here's what the convention looked like:

When we got word that the format of Scott Kleeb's debate against Mike Johanns in Grand Island, Nebraska last Thursday night allowed Scott to ask Mike a direct question, there was no question what our campaign would do.

We turned that debate question over to Scott's Nebraskan supporters.

Our campaign sent out an email across Nebraska and in response Scott received 164 questions to ask Mike Johanns at the debate. Now, while these questions speak a great deal about how Nebraskans feel about Mike Johanns, we think they speak even more powerfully about the concerns Nebraska's voters have about the future of our nation.

Tonight, I'd like to invite you to take a look at what amounts to a snapshot of Nebraska and the issues facing our nation in 2008...

Tonight the Obama for America campaign opened an office in North Omaha, bringing their total offices in NE-02 to two.

Believe.

Scott Kleeb, who early voted today, was in attendance, you can see the photos below...

Rasmussen Reports has released a new Nebraska Senate Poll:

Johanns: 52(56)
Kleeb : 38(31)

Here's the key quote:

Kleeb has taken the lead among unaffiliated voters in Nebraska, 43% to 35%. That’s a big shift from July, when Johanns led this group of voters by a 47% to 30% margin.

That's a 25 point swing among independents and shows what we've known on the ground for some time now.

Scott Kleeb is on the move!

There's nothing like coming in from a day out canvassing, walking parades (shout out to demcatholic!) and signing up new supporters than to see the sheer volume of new donors who have donated to Scott Kleeb tonight on Orange to Blue.

It's humbling and awe-inspiring to see just how many here donate to grassroots campaigns, in increments large and small.

It goes without saying that Scott, like every candidate on the Orange to Blue list, deeply appreciates the support of the netroots readers at dailykos. You are making a difference here in Nebraska, just like you are in Washington and Minnesota and Missouri and Florida and Arizona and Illinois...
