Happy Holidays from National Nurses United
2021 is wrapping up. We worked hard and, even as we faced challenge after challenge, we grew stronger and more united than ever before. From winning the first workplace emergency temporary standard since 1983 to bargaining victories across the union, we’ve made big moves this year to ensure we can provide the best care possible to our patients.
