Windham healthcare workers deserve a fair contract #aft #aftc

Calling out Hartford HealthCare execs' greed Sen Mae Flexer says “#WindhamNurses’ #strike about standing up to run-away profiteering, destruction of our health delivery system.” #PatientsBeforeProfits #HOPEUnions AFT AFT Healthcare AFL-CIO ✊ Connecticut AFL-CIO CT Senate Democrats

CT AFL-CIO ✊ President @EHawthorne3 on #WindhamNurses strike line: "I hear all the time from hospital execs about the need to train more nurses. What I don't hear is about the need to retain nurses! They must stop treating nurses as expendable & pay them their true worth!"

I'm no political scientist, but it does strike me that a guy who negotiates by giving stuff up and and getting nothing in return probably wouldn't make a good leader of a legislative body

On this day in 1954, AFT wrote an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education. We were the only union to do so. ✊ Celebrate #LaborHistoryMonth with AFT by sharing these graphics & checking out these @ShareMyLesson resources: sharemylesson.com/collections/br…
