Join the RN Contract Action Team!
Sign up below for more information and/or to join the CAT to help win a great contract for SF RNs.
Winning a strong contract that improves retention, recruitment, our working conditions, and our patients’ conditions happens at the workplace, not at the bargaining table. Everyone can and should play a role!
The RN Contract Action Team (CAT) plays a crucial role supporting your bargaining team. CAT members distribute flyers at their worksites, talk to their coworkers about what’s happening in bargaining and how they can support, mobilize coworkers to show up to rallies and meetings where the City makes decisions affecting us, and more.

Our Registered Nurse bargaining team has signed a Tentative Agreement (TA) for a new RN contract with the City and County of San Francisco.
