UNOCH is moving away from the Mailchimp email system for communications and will transition to using the Bloomerang system exclusively by mid December. Bloomerang is a more secure system that allows for member sign ups and RSPVs. It is what UNOCH used this summer to sign up for strike shifts and announce strike check pickups. The Bloomerang emails will have UNOCH as the sender.  All UNOCH members, both Techs and RNs have already been entered into the new system. The last 4 emails have been sent out in both Mailchimp (this system) and Bloomerang (the new system). If you have received emails from both systems you do not have to do anything else. If you have NOT been getting emails from Bloomerang please do the following:
1) Go to http://app.initlive.com
2) Use your personal email address
3) Then click on forgot my password and you will be sent a link to sign up. 
4) You should start receiving emails!

If you try to reset your password and still are not receiving emails from Bloomerang please email UNOCH@hotmail.com for help. Emails will be going out every Tuesday for the next few weeks. 

Section 203 of both the Technical and RN Collective Bargaining Agreements allows members to change their membership status every year during the month of December.  
If you are an RN and would like to vote on the 2024-2027 RN CBA, you must be an active member at the time of the vote.

If you are currently a nonmember, you will need to submit a new membership/dues authorization form to UNOCH by December 31st 2023 in order to be eligible to vote on the terms of the CBA next summer.

Membership/Dues forms can be found on the UNOCH website under the forms/documents tab. You must also include a current/valid personal email address. If you would like to change your status for any reason; from member to nonmember or from nonmember to a member, your new membership form must be submitted to UNOCH by December 31, 2023. Once your status has been changed, you will not be eligible to change it again until December of 2024.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to UNOCH.
