Promises ≠ Actions

NNU and other unions might make a lot of promises, and they might sound appealing. But nothing is guaranteed during collective bargaining. If the union wins an election, it wins the right to negotiate on your behalf, but our hospital isn’t under any obligation to agree to anything. The union’s promises aren’t automatically granted, and the union can’t require that certain things be negotiated, even if it says it can.

Before you give away control of your MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center work experience to a union, consider this:

• A union cannot guarantee higher pay or better benefits.
• A union cannot require us to hire new nurses or direct how units are staffed.
• A union cannot change hospital policies or procedures.
