Learn About Your Unit

Work together to survey nurses, decide on key issues and meet every prospective union member.

Build support one department, one unit, one shift, one nurse at a time. Hold small group meetings to educate nurses about unions and UAN. Share information on UAN contracts across the country and how they compare with your situation. Learn about management at your hospital—finances, trends in other facilities. Survey all nurses about their practice, patient care and workplace issues. Welcome UAN members at other hospitals in your state to come tell you what their workdays and benefits are like.

Start on the road to organizing your own UAN nurses’ union:

• Make the decision
• Identify Your OC
