UNION STAFF

Help create a crucial new union
Organize and represent nurses on the frontlines of healthcare justice
Empower nurses so they can advocate for patient rights, and have an impact on healthcare policy in Congress and every state

For far too long, the healthcare industry has ignored the needs of nurses and patients, focusing instead on generating wealth for corporate investors. According to the National Institute of Health, 98,000 patients die annually in US hospitals due to avoidable errors and staff shortages.

When nurses have a voice in health care, we all benefit.  On December 8, nurses from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, United American Nurses, and Massachusetts Nurses Association launched the 150,000-member-strong National Nurses United.

Nurses have joined with the AFL-CIO to support universal single payer health care.  The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee led the fight to enact the first life saving statewide nurse-to-patient ratios. 

The National Nurses United is now hiring committed staff for ground breaking organizing campaigns and dynamic representational efforts nationwide.  Bring your skills to the innovative new union that will make a real difference:

Across the country, we seek experienced organizers and labor representatives, dedicated directors, who want to return to the values that started them working in the labor movement, as well as activists who want to learn to become union organizers.

Train strong committees of nurse leaders with the power to fight and win improvements both inside the hospitals and outside in our communities.

Organize for member-based power, with a union that rejects corporate partnerships that sell out members, and opposes sweetheart deals with management.

Do the work that you love, with a supportive team of highly competent staff who treat each other with respect and pitch in to build a movement for healthcare justice.

Excellent salary depending on experience. Generous benefits package, family and domestic partner coverage. In your cover letter please indicate your ability to travel, geographic preferences and restrictions.

Please apply online.
