Have you written your legislator yet to make safe staffing ratios a reality in Wisconsin? Take action now! If you've already written one, send to a friend/family member/acquaintance! Write, share, and share again!

We're back in the fight for safe staffing! When this bill was first introduced in 2023, the legislature refused to even give it a hearing, ignoring the will of nurses, healthcare workers, and patients.

The Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (WFNHP) does not represent the nurses or health care workers at Aurora Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee. However, we are deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of all patients and staff following the shooting that occurred early this morning. Our hearts are with everyone affected by this violent incident, and we wish for healing and safety.

Nurses and health care workers face increasing dangers on the job, including workplace violence, physical assaults, verbal threats, and high-stress conditions that can escalate quickly.
No one who goes to work to care for others should have to fear for their own safety. Health care settings must be places of healing not environments where caregivers are placed at risk.

Workplace violence in health care is an urgent and ongoing concern nationwide. Every health care worker regardless of union representation deserves a safe and secure work environment, and every patient deserves care delivered in conditions that prioritize safety.

Union contracts play an important role in protecting workers by allowing them to raise concerns about the health and safety of their work environment without fear of retaliation. Strong safety protections, clear reporting processes, adequate staffing, and meaningful collaboration between staff and management are essential to preventing future incidents.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this morning's events. We stand in solidarity with the health care community and urge continued attention to policies and practices that protect both caregivers and patients.

Thank you to Senators Larson and Ratcliff, and Representatives Hong and Subeck for leading the charge in sponsoring this crucial legislation for safe staffing for nurses, healthcare workers and patients.

We're back in the fight for safe staffing! When this bill was first introduced in 2023, the legislature refused to even give it a hearing, ignoring the will of nurses, healthcare workers, and patients. That's why the Wisconsin Nurse Staffing and Patient Protection Act is back in 2026.

🗣️Please share and write your Wisconsin state legislators today and urge them to support this legislation, because safe staffing saves lives. (Link in comments)
