Michigan Teamsters J.C. #43 File for Corewell Nurses Election!!

Corewell Health East Nurses Take Bold Step Toward Union Representation!

Today, the dedicated and courageous nurses of Corewell East carried three banker boxes filled with union recognition cards to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), filing the necessary paperwork to secure their right to vote for Teamster representation. This filing represents an essential step in their journey to gain recognition and a voice in their workplace, under the protection and oversight of the NLRB.

The grassroots movement these nurses have built across all nine Corewell East campuses is nothing short of inspiring. These are the same brave "essential" workers who, in the uncertain early days of 2020, put their lives and their families on the line to protect our community here in Southeast Michigan. They faced the unknown with courage, placing the safety and health of others above all else.

Now, it’s our turn to stand with them as they fight for the right to secure a seat at the negotiating table. The issues they’re raising are critical: safe staffing ratios, fair compensation, a benefits package that reflects their vital role in our community, and a steady, reliable retirement plan. They are also seeking grievance mechanisms that will protect both their professional licenses and their rights as workers. Most importantly, they are demanding a voice in the day-to-day decisions that affect patient care. These nurses are on the front lines, caring for us when we need it most, and they know firsthand what is best for their patients.

For these nurses, it’s not just about a paycheck—it's about putting patients over profits. Now is the time for them to receive the respect, dignity, and compensation they so rightly deserve.

Join us in supporting these brave nurses as they push forward in their fight to be heard.

Nurses for Nurses.
