What we believe
Healthcare workers should have a rising standard of living and be able to make ends meet with just one job, not two or three.
Workers who provide healthcare should have strong healthcare coverage for ourselves and our families, and deserve to retire with financial security after a lifetime of service.
Our patients deserve more hands-on attention, faster access to care and better health outcomes. Patient care and working conditions are better when healthcare workers have a strong voice in shaping them.
Outrageous executive salaries, corporate greed and employer indifference have no place in healthcare. Everyone should be able to live and work free from discrimination and harassment.
