Whether it's mandating our employer provide us with PPE or protecting whistleblowers who speak up, nurses rely on OSHA regulations every day to hold our corporate employers accountable. But these protections are under attack. Help nurses fight back:

CommonSpirit Health thought they could quietly get away with laying off 175 frontline health care workers. Union nurses showed them how wrong they were today: We held a press conference and delivered a petition signed by ‼️ 5,000‼️ nurses to protest the layoffs!
CA and MN are two states that have pushed back against Trump's immigration crackdowns. Now, the Trump administration wants to withhold nearly $1BN in Medicaid funding from those states. 🧐 Nurses know who will suffer: Seniors and people with disabilities. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Health care shouldn't happen in a hallway! UCSF nurses and resident physicians join together at the UC Board of Regents to demand safe staffing. It's time UCSF management put patients over profits!
RNs protested at the American Hospital Association summit where Kaiser CEO Greg Adams is speaking to call out Kaiser's push to replace real nurses with untested A.I. Nurses, not executives, should decide the tech used at the bedside. #PeopleOverProfit ✊
Big Tech has bought their way into our government, eroding public health funding and funneling it toward illegal wars and state-sponsored terrorism through ICE. But union nurses know their money isn't as powerful as our collective voice. When we fight, we win! ✊
When Kaiser says they want to "optimize" patient care, nurses know what that really means: cut corners to maximize their profits. And our patients are the ones who suffer! 😡 https://calmatters.org/economy/technology/2026/07/kaiser-nurses-workplace-surveillance-ai/
Kaiser nurses say technology is making their jobs -- and patient care -- worse
Call center nurses at Kaiser Permanente said workplace surveillance tools and AI prioritize speed and cost savings over quality and safety.

This book, “Witches, Midwives, and Nurses: A History of Women Healers," was submitted as evidence in a case that sentenced a man to 30 years in federal prison. 🤔 Building community & caring for others isn't a crime! Nurses will not ignore Trump's attacks on our civil rights!
250 years ago, we declared our independence. Every day, nurses defend it — at the bedside, at the bargaining table, and at the ballot box.
Closing pediatric units and laying off health care workers. California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) management is putting profits over patients. LA nurses are fighting for #SafeStaffing and the care our communities deserve.
workers' rights 🤝 trans rights Union nurses joined the SF Trans March because health care justice, workers' rights, and trans rights aren't separate fights. We're in this together. When you take on one of us, you take on all of us! Solidarity.
Real compassion can't be automated. Don't let A.I. come between you and your nurse.

Corporate-funded politicians want you to believe #MedicareForAll is impossible. They’re pitching compromises before the fight even starts. Nurses know: Any system that keeps for-profit insurance companies in charge will never put patients first.
Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom has always been a struggle and that struggle laid the foundation for every movement for justice that followed. Nurses honor that legacy by organizing, striking, and demanding liberation for all.
84.8% of nurses experienced workplace violence in the past year. Hospital management could do something about it but they call it "part of the job." We call it negligence. Nurses deserve better! https://bit.ly/4uZc0DD
