Calling on UW Health to Respect Nurses and
Honor their Right to a Union Election
UW Health nurses are united for their patients and their profession. The Dane County Circuit Court ruled on March 22, 2024, that UW Health is a “political subdivision of the state.” Political subdivisions are covered under the Municipal Employment Relations Act (MERA) so UW Health Nurses United filed for a union election under MERA on March 25, 2024 with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC).
​
This recent court ruling has created a path to secure union recognition. Call on UW Health: Respect nurses and honor our right to a union election.

The South Central of Federation (SCFL) AFL-CIO is raising money for organizing efforts throughout Dane County and the surrounding area. The amount of new unionization efforts our office has received in the past few years is unprecedented. In the last year alone, it has tripled. For the vast majority of these campaigns, workers are not with a union right away. Until the workers choose a union, SCFL works with them for months, sometimes up to a year. Because of our assistance, workers are better prepared when they do end up with a union. To continue our success, SCFL needs funding to assist in the very critical, initial stages for workers to organize into a union.
