UNAP

UNAP Local 5098, representing the nurses and healthcare workers at Rhode Island Hospital, held an informational demonstration outside of the Rhode Map Live - Rhode Island’s Healthcare Crisis event. Check out the news story that ran on WPRI TV by clicking the link.

The UNAP and Brown University Health management have been bargaining for contracts with nurses and healthcare workers at Rhode Island Hospital, but Brown University Health has failed to provide safety protections for nurses and healthcare workers, or offer a contract that provides safe staffing levels, a safe, affordable health insurance plan, or family-sustaining wages.

Their offer will only serve to harm recruitment and retention efforts and exacerbate staffing issues in the midst of a statewide nursing shortage.

The UNAP is calling on Brown University Health to stop belittling – and start properly investing in – the patients and healthcare workers at Rhode Island Hospital.
