Your Rights When Forming a Union

By law, healthcare employees have the freedom to form a union and work together to improve patient care and the quality of their jobs. It’s illegal for your employer to intimidate, discriminate, or otherwise interfere in your decision.

Management cannot:

Threaten to fire, discharge or punish you should you engage in union activity.

Give employees who speak out against the union special favors or concessions, and they cannot promise employees promotions who initially support and then oppose forming a union.

Keep employee union representatives from talking with members during non-working hours.

Ask about confidential union matters, including union meetings, union representatives or the union itself.

Ask you whether or not you belong to a union or actively support forming a union.

Change your work assignments, your work environment, or working conditions with the intention of firing you based on your support for unionization.

Threaten or coerce you in an attempt to influence your union support.

Make threats regarding the discontinuation of benefits, wages, vacations, or job security should you and your fellow employees form a union.
