Who Is Really Running The Union?

Does Nancy Hagans and the Board of Directors even know what is going on? We don’t think so! Do they know how much Judy is still getting paid by the union? Does Nancy know that Pat is taking her direction from Judy? Do they know staff nurses (rank and file members) are getting subpoenaed and

Slate 2 received 40% of the overall vote and won 2 seats on the board of directors. Congratulations to Cynthia Caruso and Bruce Lavalle who

UPDATE!!! Breaking Breaking Breaking Nursing Home Safe Staffing Bill Signed! What Happened To The Hospital Safe Staffing Bill?

After we posted this information NYSNA finally made an announcement to the membership sort of. We have edited this post to reflect the signing of the nursing home bill! On May 5th NYSNA Executive Director Pat Kane falsely claimed a staffing law victory on the NYSNA Facebook page.  We have just been notified that only the

We Told You So! Judy Shows Her Behind

We have been telling you all along who was running the Slate 1 show, and who will continue to run them after the election.This time they put their names and pictures on it. Once again they make outrageous allegations with no evidence. Even the worst politician takes their opponents words out of context but here

Once Again Members Vote Ignored Once Again NYSNA Looks Ridiculous

So on cue a bare majority (11 out of 21) of the current Board voted to endorse Dianne Morales. Yes the same Dianne Morales who’s staff walked out claiming she is a union buster. This isn’t the first union buster Judy has embraced

So many unanswered questions so little time

Slate 1 has been distributing this leaflet with no proof of their allegations, no quotes, no nothing. Meanwhile Slate 2 decided not to use this document because they felt it was too negative. Thankfully someone emailed us a copy with the Slate 1 leaflet. Slate 1 never answered our questions so we are posting what

Update: So Many Questions So Little Time

We hope everyone is aware by now that the NYSNA Board of Directors election is coming up very soon. We have been told ballots go out on June 1st. No one seems to know when ballots will be counted. we have added a question that came in this morning. As of now we have not

Are Pat Kane and Judy Sheridan Gonzalez auditioning for Cirque du Soleil

We cannot trust Pinky and the Brain with our futures, the future of patient care, or the evolution of nursing in a post pandemic world.

You Can’t Make It Up

NYSNAIseeyou has reported on
some strange occurances at NYSNA over the last year and a half. But we are baffled by the latest decision by NYSNA’S leaders in their spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to gain a first contract for the 2000 nurses at Albany Medical Center.

You Asked For It: NYSNA’s Financial Disclosures

We have received numerous requests for NYSNA’s financials. So here they are: 2018-2019 LM2 and 2019-2020 LM2. There are numerous people earning over $200,000 per year and some close to $300,000 per year. We are on the lookout for the 2020-2021 LM2, which hasn’t been filed yet. This is very interesting because all of the

Lawsuits Filed Against NYSNA and More Coming

At least two former staff have filled suit against the union and the cases are currently heading to court. We have also learned that at least one class action suit is in the process of being filed. The latest claim involves both current and former staff.

It’s Official! Department of Labor Investigating NYSNA

We reported that numerous LBU officers filed charges against Judy Sheridan and Pat Kane. After months of delay the Department of Labor has opened an investigation. This is a major victory for the membership. Few charges to the DOL actually end up getting investigated. The fact that an investigation was opened proves there was enough

Whoops……. They Did It Again

We can now report that the “dynamic duo” of Judy Sheridan and Pat Kane have reversed gears and decided to endorse the agreement reached a week ago by NYSNA, 1199 and the CWA along with Hospital Industry representatives under the watchful eye of the New York State Legislature. While the board of directors were told

UPDATE: Breaking: Pat and Judy walk away from staffing legislation only to be forced to act responsibly?

NYSNAIseeyou has received numerous communications from within NYSNA, as well as other sources involved in the discussions, that a tentative agreement with various unions and the hospital industry was struck last week on a compromise safe staffing bill. Neither Pat or Judy bothered to be involved in the negotiations, instead they sent the political director.

From Major Players to Bit Players

H&H is already enduring out right layoffs. As we enter into another wave of Covid, we need political clout now more than ever! Due to Pat Kane, the Executive director, Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, the President, and a Board of Directors (that are less than useless) our safe staffing bill is DEAD. We don’t need autocrats leading the nation and we don’t need ideological autocrats leading our union!

UPDATE! Politico exposes NYSNA Corruption and Dysfunction

The Staff has been Ordered NOT To Share This Article with the members! Spread it Far and Wide Today Politico published an article telling the world what most of us already know. “‘A year from hell’: The war inside the state’s largest nurses union” Covid was just the icing on the cake. We lost Jill

We Paid For A $200,000 Publicity Stunt

Are the attorneys milking the union or as we have posited in the past was this just a publicity stunt?
If your attorney lost three out of three cases would they still be your attorney?
Why are we paying attorneys that keep losing cases?

The Time has come for Them to Go

We can’t let them manipulate another convention to serve only the BOD and not the bedside nurses!

NYSNA Staff in Open Revolt:

Does this really represent who we are as nurses, as a multicultural organization, as a professional organization? When the staff asked Pat Kane about the lack of a statement from NYSNA her response was “ there are NYSNA members who are Trump supporters”. This is what passes for leadership now.

OPED “We Are Not Victims“

During the most difficult time of our careers, NYSNA leadership was busy throwing us under the bus and attempting to turn nurses into victims.

Judy and Her Minions Strike Again

Nice Try Judy you’re just trying to set up another woman of color and everyone knows it!

Lead, Follow, or GET OUT OF THE WAY

We are Nurses. We know how viruses spread and the actions of NYSNA Leadership clearly did nothing to mitigate the spread of this disease. Twitter was more proactive in protecting the community and their staff

Where’s Waldo

Hello? Anyone home? Any NYSNA member know where our union leadership is hiding? Are they playing cards? Yes, I mean Pat Kane, those advising her, Judy Gonzalez-Sheridan, BOD, and our political team?

Happy F***ing New Year

The Purge Has Begun We deeply regret having to publish this article on the first day of the New Year. We hoped the Judy and Pat regime would wait until after the holidays to start firing people. Sadly they did not. Two days ago the first two staff members were fired! Gabe Cristal and Carla

On The Day Jill Furillo Is Fired Legislators Push For Safe Staffing Ratios

The Looting of the Treasury has Begun!

After three weeks of Pat Kane starting her job as “Director in Training” Jill Furillo got fired and Pat is taking over. Pat and Judy now have complete control of the Union and our dues!

Jill Furillo being pushed out by Board of Directors

We have been getting emails from numerous sources stating Jill Furillo is leaving very soon. Some say she is taking an FMLA because Judy and Pat want her out now. Others say she is being offered something to leave now. The only thing they all say is that whenever someone is fired they have to

2nd Update: Congratulations NYCHH Nurses!

See a copy of the full MOA! We were able to accomplish these major gains not because of Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez and Pat Kane but in spite of them. They kept trying to Invade our negotiations but we wouldn’t let them Attend.

We Were Right The Fix Was In

We told you! Judy announced her exoneration before the letter was even sent! No investigation. No Accountability.

Why Does Montefiore Get More Staff than any other Hospital?

We pay the same if not more dues than Monte depending on our size so why do they get more staff s support than everyone else? Is it because Judy and Karine are on the Executive Committee? Is it because they need a place for all their DSA cohorts to work? More than likely both!

Judy Played Us Again

There is No Real PAC! There are No Real Bylaws! The Board of Directors controls the endorsements. The Board of Directors controls the contributions.

Letter of Support

With all of the work around the convention we somehow missed the below email. Barbara is a former NYSNA Activist and as she said “I am more than aware of the corruption that exists with this elitist group and the need to bring them down.” So are we Barbara, So are we

Is There Going To Be A Reign of Terror At NYSNA?

We hear the knives are out for anyone on staff who helped us ,the Nurses, that dared to speak truth to power! We are told Pat and Judy are already planning on cleaning house and giving jobs to all of their DSA cohorts. Thankfully the Program Representatives are in a union so they won’t be

Why Didn’t Jill Furillo Say Goodbye At Our NYSNA Convention

Don’t you think it’s strange that after 7 years at NYSNA, taking the union from an organization no one had heard of to a force to be reckoned with in both the City and State, Jill had nothing to say to us before she leaves?

Here Are The New Charges That Went to The Board of Directors and The Department of Labor

The Fix Is In

Judy announced from the stage that the charges were dropped. Not True In Fact New Charges were sent to the DEPARTMENT of LABOR and the Board of Directors. The original charges have not been heard! There’s Democracy for you!

60% no 40% yes so how did we lose 100 votes since this morning?

Maybe it has something to do with the Person in charge of the clickers. Someone who was hand picked by Judy for his job? Just asking Lots of information coming in stay tuned
