Under federal law, union elections are decided by a majority of the votes actually cast—not the majority of team members at LIJ—so making your voice heard is crucial.
If you don’t vote, you’re giving others the power to make decisions that will impact you and your family.
As of October 1, 2025, the U.S. Government has shut down until Congress can come to an agreement on funding. As a result, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ceased operations until further notice. The temporary closure of the NLRB may impact the date and time of LIJ’s RN union election.
At this time, an election date cannot be set until the shutdown ends and the NLRB reopens.
When we have more information, we will be sure to share it through the appropriate communications channels.
Please reach out to your leaders with any questions.
When you get to the voting booth, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) representative will hand you a secret ballot.
With your ballot, enter the private voting booth and make your choice.
Make an X in:
Don’t make any other marks on the page to prevent your ballot from being invalidated.
At the end of the voting period, all ballots in the box are counted by the NLRB representative.
Then our existing relationship, without union representation, will remain in place.
Then you and all of your fellow nurses will be represented by NYSNA whether you voted or not.
Nobody will know how you voted unless you choose to tell them. We hope you vote NO.
