In Ukraine, a country facing the harsh realities of war, care workers have demonstrated remarkable unity and resilience. Through their union, Be Like Nina (BLN), these healthcare professionals are organizing to protect their livelihoods and improve working conditions while supporting a strained healthcare system.
Since August 2024, Be Like Nina has been actively organizing with the help of UNI Global Union and COZZ organizing centre. This effort spans all 24 administrative regions, including occupied territories, and has reached nearly 2,000 workers. The union has grown by almost 70 percent, with around 140 workers ready to establish new branches at their workplaces.
A member of BLN expressed appreciation for the initiative: “This project is so important, and we are grateful for support! It gave us the opportunity to call every member of the union, whom we reminded that they are not alone with their problems.”
