Dolores Huerta

Civil rights activist and labor legend Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, lends her support to Kaiser workers forming NUHW:

"I believe that Kaiser Co-Workers forming NUHW are doing the right thing. When Cesar Chavez and I co-founded the United Farm Workers we made history. It is a joy to watch you make history at Kaiser."
Suzanne Gordon

Lecturer and patient advocate Suzanne Gordon is the author of seven books including Life Support: Three Nurses on the Front Lines.

"Since nurses at Kaiser voted to be represented by NUHW in January, they've made progress on staffing and other issues because they, once again, have a voice in their union. I hope other Kaiser workers make the same choice. As an author and patient advocate I know we need unions in healthcare that will stand up for workers rights and try to improve the quality of care by working in coalitions with patients and their families. NUHW is that kind of community-minded union."
