MASSACHUSETTS NURSE NEWSLETTER :: February 2007

At long last — MNA establishes a Labor School

Region 4 to Pilot Program

The new MNA Labor School will begin classes this month with a pilot program based at the Region 4 office in Danvers. The Labor School will have various tracks of topics, including: floor representatives and grievance handling; collective bargaining; organizing and member mobilization; and special topics related to health and safety, political action, public speaking, and labor history.

Each track will consist of five or six classes that meet twice a month. Participants who complete each track will receive a certificate of completion. Once a participant completes two full tracks, she will be presented with a special MNA Labor School jacket.

The MNA is planning to develop two levels of tracks: basic/introductory and advanced.

Questions: Peggy O’Malley, 978-977-9200, or region4mna@aol.com
