Mandate the Senate to End Mandatory Overtime

Remind your Senator to Protect Patient Care

On January 29th, over 300 health care workers went to Harrisburg the mandate that the Senate pass a ban on mandatory overtime. The State House passed a ban last June, but the legislation has been sitting in the same senate committee for the last 9 months.

Now is the time to remind your Senator to protect patient care in Pennsylvania. You can send your senator a message here.

When families need health care, they expect and deserve the best. They don't expect to have a caregiver that has been working for 16 hours or more - sometimes for the second or third day in a row. That level of exhaustion and fatigue can lead to medical errors which cause 98,000 patient deaths every year.

Listen to Patricia talk about her experience being mandated to work 20 hours one day.



We all want the best and safest health care possible. By passing this ban on forced overtime, Pennsylvania families will get better care and nurses will get the respect they deserve.

Tell the Senate, the time to stand up for patient care is now.
