[Histonet] Union positions?

[Hugh Luk]

Pam,

I believe only the city morgue on Oahu have the histotech-type positions in Hawaii that are union.  There are about 48 histotechs or histotech-like postions in 14 centers across 4 of 8 Hawaiian islands (the other 4 islands are too small to support full medical facilities-and one is still under water).  We have federal, state, city/county and Kaiser Permanante, positions that most think of being unionized. 

Most of us were offered to join, but union tactics and dues were not really what we got into health care for.
