Guest SSC Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think you will find that they are state based. Here in Queensland is the QNU (Queensland Nursing Union) Queensland Nurses Union - Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratchet Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thankyou. I will have a look into that. Do they have a clout with the private hospitals too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't think directly, however, if they're the champions for the public sector, my guess is that the private sector will follow suit on pay for example. The ANF also advise on what employers can and can't do e.g. re contracts etc., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
