I will uphold collective bargaining, protect negotiating contracts and bargaining proposals, and secure improvements in wages, benefits, and working conditions. Experienced in grievances, investigations, and achieving resolutions that protect members’. I will recruit new members, ensure that labor groups select labor representatives for organized workplace committees, and mobilize members to support contracts that uphold our collective bargaining agreement. I will commit to providing fair treatment, ensuring safe working environments, and upholding the dignity of all healthcare professionals. I will be accessible and provide access to contract language to achieve reasonable and fair outcomes. My ethics are based on high standards of integrity, transparency, and fiduciary responsibility.
