We are the nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. There's nearly 1,700 of us who work throughout the hospital, in many cases providing care for some of the most complex cases in the state.

On Aug. 4, we began an unfair labor practice (ULP) strike.

We are fighting for a fair contract that includes appropriate staffing ratios on each shift and each floor so we can devote more time to each patient and keep ourselves safe on the job.

We remain united in our commitment to the very highest standards of patient care.
