As NUHW, we’ve won strong contracts, stood up for each other, and advanced our professions.
“What I love about NUHW is that I know that no matter what time I call, I always get support.”

“We helped form NUHW more than a decade ago to make sure we would have a voice in our union and in our workplaces.”:
TURUSEW GEDEBU WILSON
Registered Dietitian
Kaiser Riverside
“In our Regional Professional Practice Committee this year, we reached an agreement with Kaiser on guidelines for when patients need more time so we’re not rushing them through appointments.”
MATT JOHNSON
Audiologist
Kaiser Fontana
We’re voting to move forward with NUHW — not back into bargaining under UNAC.
“NUHW supports licensure for Registered dietitians because we are a member-led union. UNAC doesn’t represent any dietitians and as a nurses union it has never supported licensure for our profession.”
“In NUHW there’s always a voice on the other end of the phone. We’re always supported, and we always get a say in what we do. I don’t want to be swallowed into a big nurses’ union like UNAC, and I don’t want to lose the contract we just signed and negotiate a new one.”
“NUHW has always supported me and my coworkers; that’s why I will always support NUHW.”
“As NUHW, we have fundamentally changed how Kaiser understands the value of our work and the necessity of our professions.”
“I wouldn’t have survived early pandemic life without NUHW. I don’t want to lose the good representation I get from my NUHW stewards or the benefits of the contract that we just signed. We’re making good progress as NUHW. There’s no reason to give that up and go right back into bargaining.”
UNAC is a nurses’ union that doesn’t prioritize our interests.
“Under UNAC, we didn’t have a say in anything. We paid our dues and had to take what was given to us.”
CHRISTOPHER WARREN

“UNAC was not responsive to us. We were represented by UNAC for over two decades, they only let people down.”
MAKENNA MUSSON
Registered Nurse, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital
UNAC negotiates in secret, silences dissent and ignores the needs of its members.
