Frequently Asked Questions

Will staff be able to see our individual names and signatures on the document?

No. No individual at UB, UMRS, or its affiliates will see your individual names or signatures. This includes GME, program directors, attendings, co-residents, peer union organizers, or any member of the affiliate hospitals.

The only parties that will see your individual signed cards are the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD) administrative staff and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). These cards will not be distributed to any employers, present or future, and will be kept strictly confidential.

“Make no mistake, come September 3rd, when we strike, the powers that be are going to cast blame at us; 831 physicians. They are going to say that we’re jeopardizing patient care, or that we have a moral obligation to go back to work. They are going to play on our innate sense of empathy for our patients. but let me say out loud what we all know is true; when we strike, every patient that receives inadequate treatment here, every second more a patient waits in the ER, every stress placed on our healthcare colleagues, and every family member who suffers from this work disruption is the result of corporate greed and the continued decision not to do what is right. Nothing more.”
