Form a Union
Do you want to build a better and more secure economic future for you and your family? Do you want a say in the decisions your employer makes that affect you and your loved ones? Have you ever been unfairly disciplined by your supervisor or forced to accept a demotion, suspension or other punishment you didn’t deserve?
If you answered yes to any of these questions it’s time to consider forming a union with CHCA District 1199. With more than 3,000 members across Connecticut, CHCA is a union for ALL healthcare workers.
We win guaranteed wage increases, quality benefits, and safe working conditions for our members. We practice solidarity with other unions in coalitions to improve the working conditions of the members we represent and workers everywhere. We also advocate for our members and the patients they serve at the State Legislature too, fighting to protect our members and holding both business owners and politicians accountable for their actions. We stand ready to do the same for you and your colleagues.
Fill out our interest form to have a preliminary conversation and to learn more. All conversations are strictly confidential and you will not be pressured to move forward until you are ready.
