Kylie Hamm: 工会的首要目标是赋予所有成员集体发声的权利，通过团结一致的力量，为了大多数人的共同利益进行谈判。与个体相比，集体拥有更大的谈判筹码，能够有效地争取更高的工资、更完善的福利待遇，以及更安全的工作环境。工会还致力于确保公正的纪律处分程序，防止员工遭受不公平的待遇和解雇。我亲身经历过工会的力量，在非工会医院遭遇不公正待遇后，我加入了工会医院，在那里我得到了应有的保护和支持。工会的存在不仅仅是为了争取更高的薪水，更是为了维护护士的尊严和权益，创造一个更加公平、安全和健康的工作环境。作为工会的一员，我深感自豪，并将继续为所有护士的权益而奋斗。

What really goes on behind the scenes of nursing unions? Our guest this week, ER Nurse and the President of the Registered Nurses Association at UCMC (A union!), Kylee Ham, breaks down how nursing unions actually work!

In this chat we talk about the most common myths that keep nurses divided, and why management, not fellow nurses, is the real opposition. We dive into how to start organizing in your workplace, what protections you legally have against retaliation, and why fear still plays a powerful role in keeping nurses silent. If you've ever felt burned out, undervalued, or unsure about unions, this episode is your roadmap to understanding your rights and reclaiming your power.
