RNs Working Together Welcomes New Director

RNS WORKING TOGETHER, the nurse Industry Coordinating Committee established by the AFL-CIO, has hired Steve Francy to be its executive director. Francy comes to RNs Working Together with impressive experience in health care. For more than five years he was the national coordinator for the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. He was responsible for working with coalition unions to develop consensus on goals and program approaches, used his leadership skills for problem solving and conflict resolution, and participated in two successful national collective bargaining efforts for the 11-union, 80,000-worker group.

At RNs Working Together, Francy will coordinate all aspects of its programs and activities, work with nurse leaders to set priorities, and institute strategic planning initiatives that will strengthen the influence of nurses.

In addition to AFSCME, the other unions belonging to RNs Working Together are the American Federation of Teachers, American Federation of Government Employees, Communications Workers of America, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, International Federation of Professional and Technical Employees, International Union of Operating Engineers, Office and Professional Employees International Union, United American Nurses, United Auto Workers, and United Steelworkers.

Welcome, Steve.
