Building an organizing union is crucial to achieve enforceable standards in our contracts and the law, while opposing concessions and benefit cuts.

We believe in a strong union that is rooted in rank and file members. We must bridge the gap between Out-State, Twin Ports, and Metro bargaining units, and build our collective power.

MNA has always had structures that allow for member involvement, but all too often it is difficult for members to figure out how to get involved. We are determined to reform MNA policies and change the culture to maximize member participation.

The corporatization of healthcare hurts our communities, patients, nurses, and all healthcare workers. We all experience the effects of the profit-driven model when understaffing, mismanagement, and lack of resource allocation have left many of us to bear the responsibility of providing care.

We believe that inequality related to race, sexual orientation and gender identity is a human rights issue. We need a union where all members feel valued, respected and supported.

We believe our union needs to continue strengthening our force to protect the future of the nursing profession. Hospital leadership is requiring nurses to do more with less, jeopardizing nurse and patient safety.es here
