#Solidarity from coast to coast! Proud to stand w/local & state #union leaders in #MiddletownCT to send message to IAM Union District 751 & W24 members in #WashingtonState;  in your struggle for justice w/The Boeing Company we've got your backs. #UnionYES @AFT AFT Connecticut AFL-CIO ✊ Machinists Union / IAM Union Connecticut AFL-CIO

Solidarity is a verb. It requires action. Proud of the big turnout here in CT to support Machinists Union / IAM Union workers fighting for dignity and respect on the job.

Corporate greed is Boeing eliminating health care for striking workers, laying-off 10% of its workforce & ending pensions while it spent $43 billion on stock buybacks & its two disgraced CEOs receive over $100 million in golden parachutes after 346 passengers died on their watch.

It's unsafe for nurses and patients alike to have healthcare professionals working hours beyond their shifts. It puts patient care at risk and drives nurses away from the bedside. Thank you Backus Nurses & AFT Connecticut for standing up for safety. norwichbulletin.com/story/news/loc…

Healthcare professionals take an oath to "do no harm." That means not just providing quality care, but sounding the alarm when conditions aren't safe. Thank you Backus Nurses all you do for your patients. #CodeRed AFT Connecticut ctpublic.org/news/2024-10-1…
