Steps to Organizing Your Union

Go Public

After talking with your colleagues, answering their questions and concerns, researching management and the UAN advantage, declare your intention to form a union. You can do this by presenting a petition, holding a news conference in your community or calling on management to allow a vote, just to name a few activities.

With your announcement, you’re showing a unified front to management and demonstrating your commitment to seeing the organizing race through to its successful conclusion

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