For too long, corporate nursing home operators have short-staffed skilled nursing facilities, negatively impacting the care residents receive and creating unsafe working conditions for healthcare professionals.

Take action now by signing the petition for safe staffing standards and sharing your comments of support.

IAM Healthcare members are leading the fight for safe staffing in nursing homes across the U.S. Together with our allies in the AFL-CIO and consumer organizations, we have taken our demands all the way to the White House.

The next step is for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to release a strong national staffing standard based on research and worker testimony, not the complaints of profit-minded industry executives.

MESSAGE TO CMS:

We are workers, community members, nursing home residents and families of residents united in a common demand for safe staffing in ALL of America’s nursing homes. We call on CMS to release a strong national staffing standard based on the care needs of nursing home residents, without carve-outs, exemptions, or delays. Add your name if you agree!
