🚨 Enough is enough.
Yesterday, ONA nurses at Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital stood up to last-minute schedule changes in the ER and management’s attempts to force OB nurses on call into mandatory overtime to cover vacancies.

📄 They delivered a letter directly to the Chief Nursing Officer demanding respect for nurses’ time, safe staffing, and an end to abusive scheduling practices.

ATTENTION! If you receive a call from OBN stating that you must take immediate action or pay a fine, this is a scam. Please share.

They are at it again. If you get a call from the OBN saying you must take immediate action or pay a fine, it's not us. Call our customer service team to report it @ 614-466-3947.

🚨 🚨
ONA Nurses at Aultman Alliance are at the table this week after demanding to bargain over critical safety concerns. 💪

We stand united to raise the bar on safety—for our patients, our coworkers, and our community.
A rising tide lifts all boats—it’s better (and safer) in a union. ❤️✊

🚨 The Trump administration’s VA has launched a war on workers, terminating contracts with most of its workers’ unions. Every worker deserves the right and ability to join a union, including the nurses, caregivers, and frontline health professionals who care for our nation’s veterans.

ONA stands with every VA worker under attack. This fight is about more than contracts; it’s about respect, rights, and the voices of those who serve our veterans every day. We will not be silenced. ✊
