What Is A Union?


NYSNA is an organization of nurses using our collective power to have a real say in our working conditions and patient care. We are New York's largest union and professional association for registered nurses – 42,000 nurses united to win safe staffing, stop hospital closures, defend professional wages and benefits, and fight for a just healthcare system that cares for all New Yorkers.  

These Putnam Hospital nurses formed a union with NYSNA. Sign up today to join them and thousands of other nurses across the state!

“Our contract helps us protects nurses and protects our patients. Negotiations are about to start again, and I know that working together we can continue to protect what matters to us.”

- Allyson Selby, RN, NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist
