Union support is essential in the efforts to pass the New York Health Act. Lawmakers listen to labor leaders and public sector unions in particular hold a lot of political power. While many unions such as the NY State Nurses Association, 1199 SEIU, and UAW are strong advocates and supporters of the NY Health Act, our elected officials say they need to hear more. Union members must work from within their unions to bring more of them over to supporting the bill.
Below is a list of resources for rank & file union members.
