On Wednesday, November 5, 2014, the membership of our Union voted to gradually increase the dues cap over a six year period, and to eliminate it entirely in 2021.  This important decision will provide us with opportunities to improve our representation of members, collective bargaining strength and legal support of members.  It will also enable us to organize more Registered Nurses and other Professionals into our Union for a stronger voice in the workplace, in our communities, and with priority legislation that impacts the work of our members.

Although this election was not required and the changes to the dues cap could have been made with a simple majority vote of support by our Union's leadership, the decision was made to give all eligible members the opportunity to vote in a democratic process. The dues cap changes will take effect in February 2015.

We thank you for your commitment to continuing to build the strength of our Union, and for the work you all do.
