New York Professional Nurses Union:"The New York Professional Nurses Union has represented the nurses at Lenox Hill Hospital since 1985. The staff RNs knew that no big union could represent them better than they could represent themselves, so they started their own grassroots organization. This is a very precarious time for health care workers and nurses in particular: many of our colleagues in neighboring hospitals are discovering the devastating consequences of not having a union to represent them. Our leaders know firsthand of the challenges nurses face, since they are also nurses working side by side with our members. They aim to make a contribution to the hospital while preserving the respect of the people that make the hospital run."
