How to Vote

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.

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:

  • The NO box if you do NOT want to have union representation
  • The YES box if you do want New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) to speak for you in the workplace 

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.

If the majority of the votes are…

“NO” votes—or if there is a tie…

Then our existing relationship, without union representation, will remain in place. 

“YES” votes…

Then you and all of your fellow nurses will be represented by NYSNA whether you voted or not. ‍

Remember  

Nobody will know how you voted unless you choose to tell them. We hope you vote NO.
