Unions organized with HPAE bring healthcare professionals increased pay, good benefits, and decent working conditions. Together, unionized workers advocate for good jobs and safe communities, quality healthcare, and retirement security.

“In my job, I am used to fighting for our patients to make sure they’re heard and that their concerns are addressed. But management can run roughshod over our rights. I found myself in that position and had I not been a member of HPAE, I am sure I would not have succeeded as a single employee. I am not alone, because as a union, I know my coworkers are standing with me to protect all of us.”
– Olivia Valentino-Davis, Patient Advocate University Hospital in Newark, HPAE Local 5094

 

“When you’re managing eight patients at once, our safety and our patients’ safety becomes compromised. Now, with enforceable ratios in our contract, we can finally focus on patient safety and better outcomes. It’s a huge accomplishment we achieved by standing together to demand safe staffing ratios in our union contract.”
– Tara Lyndia Rojo, RN, President of HPAE Local 5030 at HMH Palisades Medical Center

THE POWER OF HPAE IS ON YOUR SIDE.

HPAE gives you strength.

“The Union is so vitally important. When you need it most, we as union members are ready to stand alongside one another to protect all of us. It took the largest mobilization of members here to win safe staffing ratios in our contract. We, the union, won that.”
– Patty Hoffman, RN, Pediatric ICU Cooper University Health Care HPAE Local 5118

HPAE gives you a voice.

“The staffing crisis has put patient care at risk. That is why we went to the bargaining table to get enforceable staffing ratios in our contract. Accomplishing that goal would not have been possible without the unity and organizing that belonging to a union like HPAE provided us.”
– Alice Barden, RN Englewood Hospital and Medical Center President of HPAE Local 5004
