description
National Nurses United is a U.S.-based national labor union and professional association representing registered nurses. The organization organizes nurses for collective bargaining and workplace actions (including strikes), publishes resources and media for members, and runs campaigns to influence hospital operations and national health policy. It conducts public advocacy and community organizing (for example, tours and rallies) to oppose hospital closures and staffing cuts, to promote patient care protections, and to advance healthcare reform. The group also mobilizes nurses on broader public policy issues affecting patients and health systems, including veterans’ health, immigrant access to care, and opposition to federal immigration enforcement in hospitals.
