What Members Have Won
Through joining together and working as a team, UNAC/UHCP’s 32,000+ members have won huge victories and raised standards for our patients, our professions and our communities.
By standing together we’ve won hundreds of new positions to fix unsafe staffing in our hospitals, won strict new Cal/OSHA regulations to prevent workplace violence, and saved the option of the 12-hour shift for all California RNs, after a 2015 court decision threatened to end the longstanding practice.

Union members at each facility elect their own officers and negotiate their own contracts.
