The UFCW was a strong proponent and leading advocate for the UAN position in the charter debate. Organized nurses have become a leading voice for keeping care in the health care system.
Registered nurses are key to protecting health care quality.
The UFCW through its health care division has been actively organizing registered nurses and other health care professionals. Registered nurses at Lakeland Regional Medical Center in Lakeland, Florida and St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri made history by organizing for a voice on the job with the UFCW in the past several years. We look forward to working together with the UAN to build a strong movement among registered nurses. The UFCW represents more than 100,000 caregivers nationwide. The union is committed to protecting health care workers' right to a voice on the job.
