Organizing
doctors in your institution is the first step toward giving doctors a greater
voice on the job. The NDA/SEIU will
assign experienced staff who are dedicated to organizing and will provide you
and your colleagues with the assistance you will need to run an organizing
campaign at your institution. The
first steps for organizing are as follows:
1. A
majority of doctors in your institution must support the union and they must
sign a card that clearly states they wish to be represented by the union.
2.
Once the cards have been
received and verified, National Doctors Alliance/SEIU will
request, recognition of the union from the employer.
3.
If the request for voluntary
recognition is denied, National Doctors Alliance/SEIU will
request an election from the
National Labor Relations Board. The
labor board will then notify the employer that an election will be held, and the
labor board official will supervise and oversee the election process.
Voting is conducted by secret ballot.
4.
You win union recognition if a total of 50% plus 1 of
the voters casting their vote for the union. By winning the election, you win the right to sit down with
your employer to collectively bargain a contract.
Strong unity among the doctors brings greater strength and power to the
bargaining table.
5.
Each step in this process, requires careful planning by the National
Doctors Alliance/SEIU’s experienced organizing staff. The first step is to click here and an experienced National
Doctors Alliance/SEIU organizer will contact you. Please notify us, before taking any other action
