“Northwestern Healthcare United members successfully resolved our first grievance with management. The issue involved a schedule change that conflicted with my childcare responsibilities, and through the process, we reached a resolution that supports my family needs. During the grievance meeting, management even acknowledged their appreciation for our structured approach to resolving issues. Collective action ensures that our contract works for all members. When colleagues support one another we win." - Daniel Vincent, Northwestern Healthcare United member
