Press releases

Nurses at University Medical Center (UMC) in New Orleans, La., are moving forward with the two-day strike on Feb. 5 and 6. The strike will be the second at UMC as nurses continue to demand progress on a first union contract with their employer, LCMC health.
Nurses across the country are outraged by the Trump administration’s rollout of several policies attacking and endangering transgender Americans’ health, safety, and lives.
Registered nurses at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, Md., decisively voted to maintain their representation from National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United. Nurses recertified NNOC/NNU as their union representation, winning by a larger margin than their original union election in November 2023.
Nurses across the United States are outraged that the Trump administration rescinded guidelines previously barring immigration raids on hospitals and other health care facilities. Our patients, who we make a sacred oath to help and heal, without discrimination, should never be forced to forego lifesaving treatment.

Organize with National Nurses United to improve workplace standards through collective bargaining, reform national health care legislation, and make a difference for you and your patients.

Patients: Know your immigration rights

The Trump Administration has changed the rules, no longer designating hospitals, as well as schools and churches, as "sensitive areas," free from immigration enforcement. Nurses make a vow to care for all people, and we know hospitals should remain places of healing, where all people can receive care, without fear. We want to ensure you know your rights.
