💙 A Huge Thank You to Our Outgoing Leaders 💙

We extend our deepest gratitude to Sally Budack, Emily Nollmeyer, and Shelly Mead for their years of tireless dedication to our union. St. Joe’s wouldn’t be the union stronghold it is today without your leadership, hard work, and sacrifice. If you see them on the floor, take a moment to thank them!

💪 Looking Ahead – Building an Even Stronger Union

Your new leadership team is ready to hit the ground running. Over the next three years, we’re committed to:

  • ✅ Strengthening and expanding the union infrastructure that helped us win our historic 2024 contract—and positioning ourselves for even bigger victories in 2027.
  • ✅ Fighting for safe working conditions and better staffing through the Hospital Staffing Committee and Conference Committee.
  • ✅ Pushing for transparency and accountability from management.
  • ✅ Upholding our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and racial justice through the work of the Racial Justice Committee.

We are proud to be part of a hospital that leads the way in union nursing—and that power comes from you. Your voice, your solidarity, and your action are what make us strong.
