Registered nurses at Corewell Health East, represented by Teamsters Local 2024, have voted by nearly 90% to authorize a strike. The 10,000 nurses across nine hospitals and campuses throughout southeastern Michigan have been fighting for their first union contract since June 2025.



“This overwhelming strike vote shows that nurses are done being bullied into silence while executives put profits over patients and gamble with our safety and our licenses,” said Rachel Szadyr, a cardiac ICU nurse and member of the bargaining committee. “It’s no secret that nurses everywhere are struggling. We keep losing incredible nurses because of a rigged system that lets so‑called nonprofit hospitals pile more responsibility onto nurses, while stripping away the resources we need to provide safe care. This isn’t sustainable and it’s exactly why we are fighting for the best possible contract.”
