Safe staffing, in writing
Nurses report patient assignments above what they consider safe, including double-digit loads on med-surg floors and 3-to-1 ratios in the ICU. They are asking for staffing rules the hospital has to follow.
On strike since Labor Day · September 1, 2025
Stand with Genesys nurses. Safe staffing. A fair return.
About 750 nurses and case managers at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital went on strike in Grand Blanc, Michigan. They are fighting for safe staffing, fair pay, and the right to return to the jobs and shifts they held before the strike.
What nurses are asking for
This is about patient safety.
Return to the same job
Every striking nurse should be able to return to the position and shift they held before the walkout, with seniority intact. A contract should not push experienced nurses out of the jobs they fought to protect.
Fair wages and benefits
A raise alone does not settle staffing, benefits, or job protections. Nurses are fighting for a full contract that keeps experienced caregivers at the bedside.
Why your support matters
Support keeps pressure on the hospital.
Visit the line, share official updates, and call Michigan leaders. Public support keeps the nurses visible and reminds the hospital that the community is watching.
