“Congratulations to the hardworking nurses with SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin who have reached a historic agreement with the UW Health Board and Administration,” said Stephanie Bloomingdale, President of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. “After years of calling for union recognition, nurses at UW Health can now raise their voices collectively to address urgent challenges such as patient care, safe staffing levels, burnout and exhaustion. Thank you to Governor Tony Evers who personally helped facilitate discussions between UW Health and SEIU nurses to reach this agreement. Together, we are stronger, and in collaboration UW Health, nurses, patients and our entire community will benefit.”
