“I have received great benefits with my union!”
As employees of neighborhealth, we stand united in our support of and commitment to the mission of neighborhealth. Our decision to form a union is part of that commitment in an effort to improve our working conditions and improve the quality of services we provide.
NEIGHBORHEALTH Workers are a Valuable Part of the Mission
Those of us who work at NeighborHealth know how unique our services are and we want to keep our jobs for years to come. But as workers at a non-union organization, our jobs are not as secure as we would like. Management has the power to decide our salaries and benefits. When we form our union in 1199SEIU, we can use our collective voice to make improvements so NeighborHealth can continue to be successful in its mission.
Our Patients Are Counting On Us
NeighborHealth provides lifesaving, wraparound services to our communities, but we need professional wages, secure benefits and respect in the workplace to be able to recruit and retain dedicated and qualified staff. We believe joining with 1199SEIU is our best opportunity to improve our working conditions and improve the quality of services we provide.
