Stay tuned for more information about the process and upcoming solidarity actions to show UPHS we stand in support of our USW Bargaining Committee!
Communications and Actions Team
We’re looking to build a Communications and Action Team to help get information and materials from the from the Bargaining Committee and make sure it reaches all of our members. They will also bring back questions and feedback to the Committee to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.
We want you to have the latest and most accurate information straight from the bargaining table! We’re looking for volunteers! If you responded yes in the Survey, we will be reaching out to you soon with more information! If you’re interested in helping our Union, please send an email to bfisher@usw.org
In order to win a fair contract that represents our sacrifices and hard work, we have to show UPHS that we’re united! When we stand together in solidarity, we send the hospital a clear message!
