Registered nurses across the country continue to build their union movement, asserting their collective power against a profit-driven health care system and a corporate-aligned federal government. California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) announced today that nurses at four hospitals - which in total employ 4,500 nurses and serve more than 1.7 millionpatients annually - filed petitions over the past week with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for union elections. These elections are just the start of realizing CNA/NNOC's serious commitment, made at its convention just last month, of doubling its RN membership over the next decade.
The hospitals where nurses will vote to join CNA/NNOC are: Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, California; Flagstaff Medical Center in Arizona; Endeavor Health Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois; and CommonSpirit Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Nurses across these four distinct hospitals and regions are organizing unions to address the decline in working conditions and safe patient care that are systemic across U.S. hospitals. There are more than 1.1 million registered nurses with active licenses who are not working as nurses. Many choose not to work at the bedside because of conditions set by hospital employers, including, but not limited to: unsafe staffing practices, inadequate workplace violence prevention measures, and a refusal to meaningfully include nurses and other health care workers in key patient care issues like A.I.
"The people of Flagstaff deserve the best possible medical care, and nurses are unionizing to make sure we have a voice in providing it," said Chelsea Madsen, RN in Flagstaff Medical Center's transfer center in Arizona. "Voting to join NNOC means we'll be able to fight for a contract that gives us a say in how our hospital runs, which is exactly what nurses and patients need."
"Nurses are hard at work every day taking care of our patients at St. Joseph," said Susie Prince, RN in the pulmonary renal unit at Providence St. Joseph Hospital Orange in California. "We're unionizing because we know that we can advocate for our patients and ourselves at the bargaining table. When nurses stand together to fight for our patients, we win."
"We are very proud to file our petition to hold a union election to join National Nurses Organizing Committee," said Amy Alaimo-Kruse, RN in the women and children's float pool at Endeavor Health Edward Hospital. "We want to have a voice in patient care and be strong advocates for our patients and ourselves."
"We are organizing at our hospital to ensure that our patients can get the high-quality care that they deserve," said Bridget Rhoades, RN in the medical surgical float poolat CommonSpirit Memorial Hospital Chattanooga. "Since CommonSpirit took over the hospital, we have seen our staffing cut drastically and our equipment and supplies are constantly broken and missing. We know that by forming a union, we will be able to make our voices heard and improve care at our hospital for all our patients."
The crisis in the U.S. health care care system, which extends beyond nurse recruitment and retention, is bound to be exacerbated by the trillion dollar federal health care cuts that are set to take effect after the November midterm elections. Ten million people are expected to lose their insurance by 2034 and more than 600 hospitals are at risk of cuts and closure. NNU's Red Alert Tour has highlighted how hospitals are already using the funding cuts to further cut corners on staffing and limit services.
"Nurses aren't just organizing unions at their facilities, they are also advancing a Vision for a Healthy Society," said CNA/NNOC President Sandy Reding, RN. "Growing nurses' power in the hospital and health care industry will enable us to win a world that reflects our profession's values of care and compassion, rather than the cruelty and recklessness of our current system that puts profits over patients. Union nurses fight for guaranteed health care for everyone, for people's freedom to live without fear in the communities they choose, and a government and society that isn't dominated by corporate interests."
While election dates are yet to be set at the four hospitals, nurses at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland are expected to hold their union election to join CNA/NNOC on Oct. 14 and 15. In the summer of 2026, more than 1,200 nurses across three facilities in the Prime Healthcare system voted to join CNA/NNOC.
CNA/NNOC President Reding, RN concluded, "In a time where there is a profound absence of leadership at all levels of our government and our institutions, nurses are leading the way, and demonstrating that it is possible to be both principled and victorious."
CNA/NNOC is an affiliate of National Nurses United, the largest and fastest-growing union of registered nurses in the nation.
California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee represents more than 180,000 members in more than 200 facilities throughout the country. CNA/NNOC is an affiliate of National Nurses United, the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the nation with more than 225,000 RNs nationwide.

(FLORIDA) - Over 200 drivers at Breakthru Beverage have delivered a decisive blow to corporate union busting, voting down a multimillion-dollar effort to strip them of Teamsters representation.
The failed effort reveals the weaknessand corruption of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, one of the most notorious anti-worker organizations in America. The dark money group's sole purpose is to strip away hard-earned union protections from the working class to line the pockets of greedy corporate executives.
Breakthru Beverage workers organized with the Teamsters at six Florida locations in September 2024. They fought for seven months to secure a first contract and were forced into a four-month strike by the company. Teamsters ultimately prevailed, ratifying a strong three-year contract delivering major wage increases, improved paid leave, and key protections.
The following is a statement from Breakthru Beverage Teamsters after defeating the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation's anti-union campaign:
"From day one, Breakthru tried to divide us. When we organized as Teamsters, management spent hundreds of thousands on union busters. When we demanded a fair contract, they stalled. Their greed forced us to strike to protect our rights and dignity at work. The company doubled down, spending millions of dollars to attack us simply for standing up for ourselves. None of it worked.
"Breakthru's desperate move was no match for our unity. We chose solidarity over division because we've seen what collective action can achieve.
"The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has no shame. Their overpaid lawyers and consultants who tried to sabotage our union are the enemy of hardworking Americans. They stormed into our workplace and tried to strip us of our pay, job security, and respect. But we stuck together. The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is a pathetic organization, and they earned this defeat.
"The solidarity we formed during this battle will never be broken. We've seen how far this foundation is willing to go to diminish workers' rights and roll back economic progress for everyday Americans. We encourage workers nationwide to do their homework and not fall for this scam. When corporate-funded groups show up offering 'help,' ask them who's really paying the bill. We fight too hard for our rights to simply hand them over to the millionaires and billionaires at the top, and we have an obligation to keep defending what working people have fought generations to build."
Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit Teamster.org for more information. Follow us on X @Teamsters and on Facebook at Facebook.com/teamsters.

CNA/NNOC welcomes new Council of Presidents following convention
*
California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) has officially seated a newly elected Council of Presidents to serve a three-year term from 2026-2029. The new leaders took office on Oct. 1, 2026 at the CNA/NNOC convention in San Francisco, California, where nearly 1,500 nurses from around the country convened.
The new Council of Presidents, which presides over an elected Board ofDirectors, is composed of four nurse leaders: Michelle Gutierrez Vo, RN; Marissa Lee, RN; Sandy Reding, RN; and Dolores Trujillo, RN.
President Michelle Gutierrez Vo, RN
A nurse for nearly 30 years, President Michelle Gutierrez Vo, RN, currently works at Kaiser Permanente Fremont Medical Center in the adult and family medicine clinic. A well-known firebrand among her fellow union nurses, Gutierrez Vo is a tireless champion for both nursing practice at the bedside, social justice beyond the hospital walls, and organizing nurses coast to coast.
"Right now, the entire world needs leaders like the nurses in our union," said Gutierrez Vo. "I'm honored to be part of the council leading our organization at such a critical time for the nursing profession and for our entire country."
This will be Gutierrez Vo's second term as a CNA/NNOC president. She is the second Filipina to serve as a CNA/NNOC president, following Zenei Triunfo-Cortez, RN. She also serves as a vice president of National Nurses United (NNU), of which CNA/NNOC is an affiliate.
President Marissa Lee, RN
President Marissa Lee, RN, currently works in the labor and delivery unit at Osceola Hospital in Kissimmee, Florida, a facility owned by HCA, the country's largest hospital system. Since organizing her own hospital's nurses union, Lee has spent years among the vanguard of ongoing nurse labor organizing across the South. Additionally, her expertise in labor and delivery nursing means she understands why childbirth units are so vulnerable to corporate hospital shutdowns.
"Organizing the South is more important than ever right now, and NNOC is making inroads everywhere from Florida to Texas," said Lee. "The way hospital executives treat our labor and delivery units is the same way they treat our hospitals: Like expendable businesses, not essential services. We're ready to keep fighting for our patients, no matter what comes."
Lee is also a long-serving vice president of NNU.
President Sandy Reding, RN
President Sandy Reding, RN, has practiced as a nurse for roughly 40 years and currently works in an operating room at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield, California, where her familiarity with her community has made her a fierce critic of the ongoing federal immigration crackdown. Reding organized her own facility and is intent on continuing to organize in communities across the U.S.
"Our patients are our neighbors, and we can't ignore threats to their health and well-being inside or outside the hospital walls," said Reding. "I was first elected president of our union in 2020, so I'm no stranger to leading in a crisis, and we know that we need to take on both elected officials and corporate executives to protect our patients and our profession."
This will be Reding's third term as a CNA/NNOC president. She was first elected to the council in 2020 and also served as lead for the Dignity Health Pandemic Task Force. She is also a leader in several state and local labor organizations, as well as a vice president of NNU and a frequent volunteer with the Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN), NNU's volunteer emergency and humanitarian relief project.
President Dolores Trujillo, RN
President Dolores Trujillo, RN, works in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Kaiser Roseville Medical Center in California. With more than 25 years of nursing experience, she previously served as the President of the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN), the state-level organization overseeing nursing practice in the state.
"I brought my experience as a bedside nurse to the Board, and that made me a leader," said Trujillo. "I know our ultimate responsibility is to our patients, the people we take care of. CNA/NNOC is ready to keep organizing, keep fighting, and keep winning so that we remain a force for nurses and our patients from coast to coast."
Trujillo is beginning her first term as a CNA/NNOC president.
Outgoing presidents
CNA/NNOC members thank out-going presidents Cathy Kennedy, RN, and Cokie Giles, RN, for their years of dedicated service. Both Kennedy and Giles will continue to be involved with CNA/NNOC's fights for health care, social, and economic justice, and both remain staunch champions of Medicare for All and organizing nurses in hospitals across the country.
A nurse of more than 40 years, Kennedy recently retired from a neonatal intensive care unit in Roseville, California, and served two terms as CNA/NNOC president, becoming the first Black-Asian multiracial RN to serve in the role. Kennedy's tenacious legacy will continue into her retirement. Kennedy will continue serving as a president of National Nurses United for another year.
As the longest-serving president on the CNA/NNOC council, Giles had been in her role since 2014. Working in an interventional pain clinic until her recent retirement, Giles remains a stalwart voice for nurses and the labor movement in Maine and across the country. Her leadership will continue to be a guiding light for nurses from the shores of Maine to the beaches of California.
CNA/NNOC is the largest affiliate of National Nurses United (NNU), the largest and fastest-growing union of registered nurses in the nation, with nearly 225,000 members nationwide.
California Nurses Association/National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the nation with more than 100,000 members in more than 200 facilities throughout California and more than 225,000 RNs nationwide.

LONDON, England, Oct. 10 (TNSrpt) -- The National Education Union issued the following news release:

NEU warns rising UK military spending risks further pressure on education funding
09/10/2026
A new report from the National Education Union argues that decisions about defence spending must be weighed against their impact on education, public services and international development.
The Security We Choose: The opportunity cost of UK military spending on education and human security(attached) examines what the UK's commitment to increasing core defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP by2035 could mean for other areas of public expenditure. It also asks who will bear the costs.
The NEU recognises that the UK Government must be able to respond to genuine military threats. However, the report argues that security cannot be achieved via military spending alone. It makes the case for a broader, people-centred approach to security. It highlights the vital role that education and public services, international cooperation and diplomacy play in building sustainable security.
Ahead of the autumn Budget, the NEU is calling on the government to protect and increase investment in education and public services rather than fund rising defence spending through cuts.
The union argues that these are not competing priorities but priorities that will contribute to social cohesion and security.
Key statistics
* The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that meeting the government's defence spending target by 2035 will require pound sterling36 billion a year in additional spending in current terms (from a 2025 baseline).
* Spending power for mainstream schools in England has fallen by pound sterling4.5 billion and experienced teacher pay has fallen by more than a fifth in real terms since 2010.
* International development has been hit heavily to fund the initial increase in defence spending, with pound sterling4.8 billion shifted away from the official development assistance budget in 2026-27, and a further pound sterling6.5 billion due to be moved from development to defence in 2027-28.
* Just 1.5 days of global military spending in 2025 would be enough to fund an entire year of the amount governments gave in aid to education globally.
New NEU analysis shows what pound sterling36 billion could achieve if such an investment was dedicated to education:
* Reverse real-terms losses to school spending power in England (pound sterling4.5 billion)
* Eliminate the 2026-27 SEND funding gap for local authorities (pound sterling3.7 billion)
* Clear the maintenance backlog for all schools in England (pound sterling13.8 billion)
* Fund universal free school meals through year 11 (pound sterling3 billion)
* Restore overseas aid to education to peak levels (pound sterling1 billion)
* Fill the funding shortfall for music education (pound sterling0.2 billion)
Commenting on the report, Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union, said:
"The NEU has had to fight hard for every additional pound invested in education after years of austerity and underfunding. Yet, when it comes to ever increasing military spending, public spending constraints become a secondary issue.
"An additional pound sterling36 billion per year is at risk of being taken from government departments and stretched public services to meet the government's commitment to spend 3.5 per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. That same level of investment could transform educational opportunities for millions of children.
"The NEU is deeply concerned by the impacts of armed conflicts around the world. Schools are being destroyed, education is being interrupted, and humanitarian crises are deepening. The UK government has slashed overseas aid by 40 per cent to fund its initial increase in defence spending, cutting support for education and development programmes that are vital to building peace and long-term security.
"Defence spending is a choice. Funding education is a choice. Ahead of the Budget we urge the government to invest in education, public services and international development as the foundations of a safer, fairer and more secure world."

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 -- Actors' Equity Association, a labor union that says it represents more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers, issued the following news release:
* * *
Actors' Equity Association Supports Bill to Limit Pedicabs Near Broadway, Off-Broadway Theatres
New York- Actors' Equity Association, the national labor union representing more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers in live theatre, has offered testimony in favor of New York City Council INT 0064-2026, legislation that would prohibit pedicabs from parking or doing pickings or dropoffs within 50 feetof any entrance or exit of all theaters in the Theatre District.
"This bill would fix a longstanding and critical safety issue for many of our members - and many other theatre workers - who make their living in the theatre," said Equity Director of Member Safety in Theatrical Facilities Keith Sklar. "For far too long the status quo has presented an unacceptable level of risk for Equity members. The Theatre District always has heavy foot traffic, but the pedicabs have made it so that our members cannot safely navigate the sidewalk leaving work. In the case of an emergency, we need to know these workers could quickly evacuate the building without a tangle of vehicles in the way."
"Broadway is part of the fabric of this city, and every night thousands of theatergoers and workers pour out onto some of the busiest sidewalks in New York," said Council Member Virginia Maloney. "When pedicabs cluster directly outside theatre entrances and stage doors, that congestion can make it difficult to move safely, and we have heard repeated concerns from theatergoers and workers about aggressive solicitation as they are trying to leave. Intro 64 is a straightforward safety measure that would keep the immediate area around theatre entrances and exits clear, while allowing pedicabs to continue serving riders throughout the Theatre District. At its core, this bill is about giving audiences, actors, stage managers, and theatre workers the room they need to get out the door safely. I'm grateful to Actors' Equity for standing with us in support of this legislation."
Currently, pedicabs often crowd outside of theaters to take advantage of the heavy level of foot traffic. Over two dozen theaters in the neighborhood have street-facing stage doors, meaning that Equity members move through these crowded spaces leaving work. Sidewalk congestion can be so severe that Equity members may walk in the street to get through. Furthermore, loitering pedicabs cause noise that that can be heard in theaters, making it harder for stage management teams or actors to share crucial information. In case of an emergency, evacuation routes could be severely compromised.
This bill was originally introduced to City Council in January, is currently sitting with the Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection. If the committee recommends passage of the bill, it will move on to City Council for a vote, followed by the mayor signing it into law.
