Please read this request for help from our friends at NYSNA and sign the petition!

“Nurses at Catholic Health/ St. Charles, St. Joseph and St. Catherine of Siena hospitals are united for safe, quality care for our communities. We have deep roots in our Long Island communities. Many nurses were born in the hospitals where we work, had our children here, bring our loved ones here for care, and care for patients over the course of their entire lives.
Right now, we are fighting for fair union contracts that include safe staffing, as well as protections from workplace violence and fair wages. We are fighting for conditions to protect nurses and our patients and ensure there are always enough nurses to care for our communities.
We are a community that advocates for and supports each other, our hospitals, and our patients. Please show your support by signing our petition urging hospital administrators to protect care at Catholic Health and deliver fair contracts!”
