About 350 registered nurses at University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) voted overwhelming- ly in November to unionize with National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurs- es United (NNOC/NNU), joining the same bargaining unit as 1,800 other UCMC regis- tered nurses who are already part of the union. "Having my voice heard about the safety of my patients, the security of my job, and providing for my family is important to me," said Julie DiNovo, an RN who works in the prep and recovery unit. "Joining the union makes sure that my voice matters." The new members are nurses who work in special procedures units, such as the cardiac catheterization lab and interven- tional radiology; dialysis; clinics in Hyde Park, South Shore, Orland Park, the South Loop, or the main campus; and as case managers, utilization review nurses, and RNs who coordinate organ transplants. "For years we've been unable to protect ourselves from changes, unfair policies, and scheduling issues," said Marika Pierson, an RN with the interventional radiology unit. "With a union, we will be able to bargain over the issues that are most important to us and build a contract that will keep us and our patients safe." NNOC/NNU nurses are proud of the patient safety gains they achieved in the last two contracts with UCMC. Those gains include: an end to rotating shifts, the creation of a professional practice commit- tee, the addition of 24 patient care support nurses (RNs whose sole purpose is to help other nurses when things get busy), and limiting patient assignments for charge nurses working in the intensive care units. —Staff report 10 N A T I O N A L N U R S E W W W .
