💪 SOLIDARITY IN ACTION! TEAMSTERS LOCAL 332 RATIFIES NEW CONTRACT AFTER MORE THAN 13 MONTHS ON STRIKE! ✊

After more than a year on the picket line, our union brothers and sisters of Teamsters Local 332 at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc, Michigan, have voted to ratify a new contract, bringing their lengthy strike to an end!

These nurses walked off the job on September 1, 2025, standing together in their fight for fair wages, staffing protections, seniority rights, and respect in the workplace.

Here’s what their newly ratified contract includes:

✅ 13% wage increase compared with the below-market wage rates in the previous contract.

✅ Additional premium pay for weekends, off-shifts, and critical staffing needs.

✅ Staffing protections maintaining the nurse-to-patient ratios established in their previous union contract.

✅ Seniority rights guaranteed for every striking union member.

✅ Continued union representation and the protections of a collective bargaining agreement.

The strike has officially ended, although the union and hospital must still negotiate the details of returning striking nurses to work.

Let’s recognize the sacrifice these workers and their families made.

For more than 13 months, these nurses faced uncertainty, financial hardship, and the challenges that come with standing on a picket line.

Not every disagreement was resolved, and the agreement was not everything the union had sought. But these workers exercised their collective bargaining rights and ultimately made the decision together on their future.

As members of UAW Local 3000, we understand that the strength of organized labor comes from workers standing together, whether we build automobiles, care for patients, teach our children, or serve our communities.

An injury to one is an injury to all!

👏 Congratulations to the members of Teamsters Local 332 on ratifying their contract. We wish them strength and solidarity as they work toward returning to their jobs.

Different unions. Different industries. ONE LABOR MOVEMENT!

✊ SOLIDARITY FOREVER!
