What is a Member Leader?
Member Leaders are working nurses, trained to deeply understand their facility’s contract and the rights of their fellow nurses. The Member Leader is trained to successfully organize collective actions, enforce the contract, and represent and counsel nurses facing discipline.
Member Leaders are essential: they are leaders that represent the union on the job. NYSNA’s goal is to have a Member Leader on every shift and in every unit. Hundreds of nurses are currently training for this role because a strong network of Member Leaders makes our union powerful.
