PrintUNA members encouraged to Wear the White
This week the Negotiating Committee discussed actions and activities that can support contract negotiations and demonstrate our opposition to workforce changes (position eliminations, layoffs and staffing substitutions) that compromise patient and staff safety.
We believe at this time the priorities should be engaging members, providing information and overt workplace advocacy activities. Build advocacy for our profession and ourselves.
One action that the Negotiating Committee is encouraging members to participate in is "Taking Back the White." We encourage members to wear white uniforms, or at least white tops. We have additional ideas for Registered Nurse, Registered Psychiatric Nurse, and Licensed Practical Nurse pins and more to come.
Pass on the word. Help build the momentum.
For us, our profession and our patients, residents and clients WEAR WHITE!

President, UNA
