Stand with UMC Nurses Fighting Retaliation!

The fight for nurses at University Medical Center in New Orleans is coming to a head. Your donation to the Strike Fund can help a nurse as they continue to stand strong.

18 months after nurses at UMC overwhelmingly voted to create a union, the hospital's executives and their lawyers continue to delay, distract, gaslight, and stall at the negotiating table. Now they’re intensifying their union busting by terminating nurses active in the union and promoting a blatant misinformation campaign across the hospital in a futile attempt to dampen nurses’ commitment to making the hospital the best it can be.

Left with no other choice, nurses are now preparing for a FOURTH strike, demanding the immediate reinstatement of the two nurses terminated in the hospital’s retaliation, the stop to all union-busting actions, and a reasonable contract that reflects the simple things that will make UMC better for staff and patients alike.

Nurses on the picket line will be making the sacrifice to go without pay for the duration of the strike. Nurses put themselves on the line every day, and no one should have to worry about making their bills as they fight for what's right at UMC. That’s where your donation comes in.

Anything you give helps. $15, $35, $50, $100… your donation to the Strike Fund helps a nurse stand with the strike for another day.

We’ll distribute the funds to nurses as they forego their wages in their commitment to the strike, and to a better hospital. Your donation can help keep a nurse on the picket line, standing strong for the University Medical Center that our community deserves.

It’s simple: a fair union contract improves care for people in our community. Union busting does not. By giving to the Strike Fund, you stand with nurses and with everyone who is ready to create the best UMC possible.

REMEMBER: SHARING IS CARING!!! Please share this call for support widely with your networks.
