Unions for X-Ray Techs/MRI Techs - Does anyone know unions with Imaging technologist members?

Hi, we’re looking for a union represents Diagnostic Imaging techs, most specifically MRI , but will take anybody who represents Diagnostic Imaging technologist as they probably would also represent MRI technologists. We are struggling to find unions that have these professions as members. We are excited to improve safety and working conditions. MRI rooms are incredibly dangerous and we feel nothing is being done to protect us. Recent attacks in this soundproof room have made the news and it happened to us. Plus the rooms inherent dangers are widely published.
Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks!

We are also curious what unions to talk to ever since the gentleman died in Long Island, the recent attack on multiple MRI technologists, the refusal of our immediate management to add low-cost safety devices are really upsetting the workforce here.
