For more than 50 years, Illinois Nurses Association members have brought about positive change for themselves, their co-workers, and their patients. As a leading healthcare union in Illinois, we know how to work with you to create an environment where your contributions are valued. Join us in fighting for a healthcare system where all workers and patients are valued – no matter who you are and where you come from.

Without a union, you leave all of your rights outside when you walk through the door to work. But you – and the people you work with – can change this. Fill out the form below to get connected with a workplace organizer to get the support you need.
