Get the Facts
MYTH: “You will pay dues and lose more than you gain”
TRUTH: Union dues are 1.7% and are tax-deductible. Dues are the resources that workers pool together to build strong campaigns and contracts that win improvements to wages, benefits and working conditions and to save jobs.
Hospital workers have won 14.25% in wage increases from 2021-24, huge increases to shift and weekend premiums, and many other improvements. Dues were the resources they used in their campaigns when the hospitals refused to negotiate real wage increases and tried to take away job protections
Next Steps
Once a strong majority of PSWs sign a membership card you will hold a vote. When the majority of workers who cast ballots vote YES, you will become unionized! Union cards and the vote are confidential: your employer never gets to see who signed union cards or how you vote.
Encourage your coworkers to sign their card today!
