History

CWA Local 1168 was recognized as the Union representing a group of Registered Nurses at Buffalo General, after a two year organizing campaign back in 1982. The first bargaining committee left negotiations on May 1, 1983 and went on Strike till July 19, 1983, when they won their first contract. Nurses United became the unionized RN workforce at BGH.

Since then, CWA has grown to represent health care workers of all job titles throughout Western New York. Currently, the Local represents ~ 5,000 health care workers with a various number of employers as listed below.
