SEIU members choose NUHW

Read why thousands of SEIU members are joining NUHW.

“We want to stay united in NUHW with the leaders we elected. They helped us build our union and win the best healthcare contract standards in the country. Why would we want to be part of an SEIU union run by unelected staff we’ve never heard of? That’s why I’m voting for NUHW.” —Janet Shepherd, respiratory therapist at CHW Northridge


“SEIU isn’t here to help healthcare workers. They’re here to tear apart our union because we spoke out against them. We’re going to vote to keep our union together in NUHW. It’s clear that employers want SEIU, but caregivers are voting YES for NUHW.” —Martha Vazquez, radiology tech at St. Joseph’s in Stockton

Who is National Union of Healthcare Workers?


We Are.

We have always been the Union. Our Union is not a building or a name. It is Kaiser, Hospital, Nursing Home, and Home Care workers together, declaring our independence from SEIU.

We will no longer send $30,000,000 a year of our dues money to Washington so they can make secret, backroom deals with the boss to take away our benefits, contract standards and job security.
