About

When it comes to union representation, you decide. This is not a question you want to take lightly because it will affect your day-to-day work life. This blog was developed to provide you with information and a perspective on key questions you should consider before making such an important decision.

Ultimately, you decide:

• Whether it’s in your best interest to have a third party in between you and your colleagues and Cooper leadership to set working conditions and resolve issues.
• Whether the nurses’ union will have your best interests at heart or whether the nurses’ union is a business committed to furthering its own interests.
• Whether the nurses’ union shares your commitment to Cooper’s mission to serve, to heal, and to educate.
• Whether you and your colleagues want to give up the flexibility to alter work arrangements by collaborating directly with Cooper leadership.
• Whether you want Cooper as well as you and your colleagues to have to abide by rigid contract terms negotiated on your behalf by the nurses’ union.
• Whether or not union representation fosters our culture of One Team. One Purpose.
