Labor Relations

MNA’s Labor Relations program constitutes the largest contingency of membership, representing 18,500 nurses with collective bargaining agreements at facilities across the region.

For most members, the immediate connection is with their local bargaining unit, which is responsible for collective bargaining decisions within their workplace.  Unit Stewards and Chairs are elected and carry out the direction of bargaining unit members, whether it is negotiations or contract maintenance, including grievances.

Because MNA is the certified bargaining agent for our organized work sites, nurses have rights in the workplace to achieve essential elements of practice and working conditions.  With a union contract, nurses are at the table – as equals - negotiating staffing, health and safety, wages and benefits and much more.
