Are you or a loved one a patient at the University of Michigan? You can help nurses stand up for safe patient care by sharing your experiences.

Despite a surplus of more than $100 million in fiscal year 2018, management is seeking cuts across the University of Michigan Health System, newly rebranded as Michigan Medicine. 
​
U of M nurses are worried that this increasingly corporate attitude could negatively affect patient care. That is why RNs are fighting for a fair contract that includes staffing language that will put patient safety above profits.
​
Nurses want the University to:
  • Maintain current staffing levels and safe RN workloads so that every patient gets the highest quality of care
  • Be transparent about staffing levels because patients have a right to know
  • Allow nurses to choose their own representatives on workplace committees so that they can voice patient safety concerns
  • Ensure that the Victors Care program, concierge medicine for those who can afford to pay $3,600 extra per year, does not create a two-tier system with longer wait times or less access for other U of M patients
  • Stop demanding unnecessary retirement concessions from nurses
