WHO WE ARE

SEIU Healthcare Florida Local 1991 is the exclusive bargaining representative for the 5,000 registered nurses, attending physicians and healthcare professionals in the Jackson Health System.

Since SEIU Local 1991 was chartered in 1991, we are very proud of our accomplishments and our commitment to quality patient care. 

We recently negotiated into our contract a rare and coveted provision requiring a nurse-to-patients staffing ratios policy at Jackson.

OUR COMMITMENT TO JACKSON

• Union Employees made a 5% voluntary contribution from their salaries, plus another 2.5% average contribution (freezing steps, longevity and flex pay.) This is a $106 million contribution to help save Jackson

• SEIU Local 1991 members have hired experts (Sellers and Dorsey) to pursue Federal Medicaid dollars, up to a possible $150 million recurring annually.

• SEIU Local 1991 members have hired The Sibery Group (hospital turn-around experts) to find and recommend operational improvements

• SEIU Local 1991 members have produced efficiency ideas that could save more than $60 million for Jackson
