For those who missed SUN President, Tracy Zambory’s, Labour Day article in your local newspaper you can now read it online on the SUN website. “The positive impacts registered nursing unions have on the quality of patient care go well beyond the negotiation table. Research has demonstrated a direct relationship between improved patient outcomes and registered nurse unionization…. By advocating for safer staffing, registered nursing unions work to ensure registered nurses are able to dedicate more time and expertise to direct patient care…. they also promote the importance of the right staffing mix. This means matching patients with the appropriately qualified care providers, who possess the necessary education and foundational knowledge to ensure the safest level of care at all times….. They empower registered nurses to actively participate in shaping healthcare reform and care delivery, and afford them the protected right to stand up and speak out for their patients, their practice and their profession. There is no greater patient advocate than a unionized registered nurse. “
