Thanks to the members pushing back, management withdrew its proposal last Thursday to require current employees to get their BSN or face termination.  Management still has on the table a proposal to force new hires to get their BSN.  The Union has suggested that management provide incentives for our members to get their degrees like additional tuition reimbursement rather than punishments.  Additional push back from the members is needed to get further improvements on this issue.
