As nurses and healthcare professionals, we know that unsafe staffing, faulty equipment, and high turnover can affect the quality of patient care that we are able to provide at our hospitals. With a Union, you have the right to advocate for your patients and negotiate with your employer on a job contract that ensures good working conditions and patient care. What does this mean for SEIU Local 121RN members? Better patient care, higher wages, better benefits, job security, and a voice on the job.

SEIU 121RN is an activist, member-led union of Nurses and Licensed Medical Professionals committed to raising standards and driving change throughout the healthcare industry. Together, we use our collective voice and united strength to advocate for safer hospitals for all.

From the first connections in your foundational network through your first contract negotiations, unity and collective action amplify your voice and increase your power to protect patients.

More and more Nurses and Licened Professionals across Southern California are joining SEIU 121RN to have a say in their workplaces.

Organizing is an act of collective empowerment that upends the traditional power dynamics in the workplace, shifting power from management to you and your coworkers.

As soon as healthcare workers unionize, your rights to negotiate — and your boss’ sobligation — kick in right away. This can represent a pretty big shock for CEOs and others who are used to getting their way all the time. That’s why employers often hire high-priced professional campaign consultants to try to convince healthcare workers not to organize. These anti-union campaigns can easily run to millions of dollars — resources that would be better spent on patient care and staff retention. But despite these tactics, Registered Nurses and Licensed Healthcare Professionals have won 90% of their SEIU 121RN elections. By staying united, being fully informed, and remaining dedicated to our patients and our professions, Nurses and Professionals have built a great track record of success.
