Organize Your Workplace

MNA gives nurses and health care professionals a powerful voice

MNA is the largest, most effective union for RNs and healthcare professionals in Michigan. Organizing a union in your workplace is the first step to gaining a seat at every table where decisions are made that affect you, your patients, and your practice. 

MNA's extensive knowledge of health care and collective bargaining supports Michigan nurses and healthcare professionals in building strong unions and securing outstanding contracts in their workplaces.  

Nurses and healthcare professionals have the right to take collective action to improve working conditions and form a union at their workplace. This is the best way to advocate for yourself and your patients.

If you have questions about how to do this, contact Peter Klein at 517-515-1982 or fill out this form.
