About Us
United Michigan Medicine Allied Professionals (UMMAP) is a multi-bargaining unit union of health care workers spanning across Michigan Medicine. With a commitment to an open, transparent, and cooperative process, UMMAP is fostering an equitable workplace culture at Michigan Medicine, ensuring that health care professionals are given the respect and support they deserve.
We are not always compensated fairly or equitably for the work we do, and many are overburdened by unreasonable workloads. We are frustrated by the lack of transparency from hospital administration. We are underrepresented in the process of making decisions that directly affect our work environment and ability to do our jobs.
UMMAP is working to address these concerns and promote equity, transparency, and respect.
UMMAP is working to create a more transparent environment where medical professionals have a voice in the decisions that affect us and are able to do the work we’re qualified to do.
A fair deal for allied professionals will make our entire community stronger. Obtaining equitable compensation and respect for allied professionals will improve our lives as individuals and strengthen our entire hospital system by reducing burnout. We play a critical role in the health care team ensuring patients receive the care they deserve. What we are asking is the university and hospital administration to set us up for success.
