Congress supports reform

“We are changing the culture of our union to stop the attacks on our patients and to keep hospitals open for care. It’s working. We have kept LICH and Interfaith open. We held the largest action for safe staffing in New York history. We are in the news and making headlines. We even are playing a key role in the election of the next mayor.”

Leaders of the Congress of Local Bargaining Units passed a motion at the convention to support NYSNA's new direction.

Congress supports NYSNA’s efforts to transform our association into a union that mobilizes our members and staff.

Congress supports NYSNA’s efforts to expand staff training so that all are able to mobilize members, empower members through coordinated action, and lead strategic campaigns that combine mobilizing, grievance handling, and negotiations.

The new NYSNA should use all of our resources and strategies to protect and fight for our members and our patients.
