Last year, NYSNA collected nearly $65 million in dues from its members. But NYSNA spent only about 28% of that money on the nurses it represents.1
Instead of spending money on the nurses it represents, NYSNA spent:
- $22 million on union payroll costs
- $2 million on political activities and lobbying
- $1.5 million on food and drinks
- $1.4 million on hotels like The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark
- $1.2 million paying for multiple office spaces
- TOTALLING: $28.1 million
And these are just the $1 million+ expenses. The union also spent:
- More than half a million on temps — not for hospitals, but for their own administrative purposes
- Over $200,000 on luxury transportation — including charter busses for “lobbying days”
- Nearly $30,000 on entertainment — from live music to event DJs
Our focus is on care. NYSNA’s focus is on taking care of themselves – with nurses’ money. Vote NO!
