Why Organize?
Whether you love your job but want some security or are struggling and need change, organizing a union gives you the legal framework to have a real voice at work.
Organizing is not something that is done against your employer. It's a way to claim legal rights and protections not afforded to individual workers. By forming unions, healthcare workers come together to gain the ability to advocate for themselves, and the ones they care for, without fear of retribution or reprisals.
IAM Healthcare believes our members are the heart and soul of the union. We believe that all workers deserve unions and that democracy should be the model inside the workplace and in the union itself. These are the guiding principals that drive our organization.
If you are ready to go or just curious how the process works, reach out via the Contact page. We'll have an organizer contact you who can explain the process and what is involved in forming a union at your workplace.

“I have seen many changes in healthcare over the last two decades. Our union has been instrumental in making sure that those changes work for patients and providers alike. We have a real say in what happens in our hospital, and that makes all the difference.”

“Having a shared voice ensures that direct patient care givers have safe working conditions. Safety is our number one priority and our patients. As IAM Healthcare members, we are able to raise safety concerns without fear, and we make sure that those concerns are handled in a timely manner through our workplace committees.”
TJ Pollicino - Operating Room PCA
“When you have a voice at work, your needs get met. Without a united voice no one is looking out for you. As members of IAM Healthcare we have a way to deal with our issues as they arise. We are the voice for patients & providers”
