Nominations Are Closed – Ballots Are Coming

Nominations for local unit officer positions have officially closed, and we’re proud to announce that ballots will be mailed to your personal address on file later this week. Thank you to every nurse who stepped up to nominate a colleague or run for office. Your engagement in this process is a reflection of the strength and solidarity we’ve built together.

Ballots will include a postage-paid envelope for return. To be counted, ballots must be postmarked no later than July 17. Please make your voice heard and vote.

The energy we brought to the bargaining table is still strong. We’re excited for the work ahead as we continue organizing, enforcing our contract, and preparing for the next round of negotiations.
