Today, healthcare workers realize that if they want to gain respect, fairness, and ensure the best care for their patients, they need to join together to form a union. Together, by forming our union, we put the priority back on patient care. |

Healthcare workers can solve problems at work more effectively as a group. Through forming a union and negotiating a contract, you can secure the things you like about your job, and you can make changes in the areas that need improvement. With a union, you have a concrete way to improve your job and your life. Unions get results. |

If healthcare workers don't have a voice at work, they can gain one through a union. If you face unfair treatment, you can negotiate policies that ensure fairness. If you have low wages or poor benefits, you have a way to demand better. If you have concerns about staffing levels, mandatory overtime, patient safety or other conditions at work, you can have a voice in making change.
