OUR VISION

FOR A BETTER ST. MARY’S AND DEAN

Nurses are united by our shared experiences, and we know what it takes to improve patient care and nursing jobs at our hospital and clinics. But we’ve seen how top-down administrative decisions and profit-driven policies have changed things for the worse.

A rising tide lifts all ships — and so does a union.
With a seat at the table and a real voice in the decisions that matter, we can transform our hospital and clinics into excellent places to work and receive care. We’re organizing for…

Safe Staffing
A seat at the table to advise administration on solutions that eliminate the productivity grid and implement acuity-based staffing.
SUPPORT & RESPECT
The training and support new nurses need to thrive, and the respect and resources veteran nurses need to lead.
Fair pay & Benefits
Wages and benefits that allow us to support ourselves and our families — and that keep up with our colleagues at Meriter and UW!
BETTER PATIENT CARE
More time to spend with our patients in order to provide them with the best care possible.
NURSE RETENTION
Recognition and incentives that make nurses excited to work (and stay!) at St. Mary’s and Dean.
A VOICE for nurses
A protected, influential voice to hold administration accountable to putting patients first.
