We are so proud of Penn residents/fellows unionizing today! Let’s keep that energy moving North for an MGB Housestaff union! MGB Housestaff United #GOTV
Strong unions make strong cities: a strong labor movement is necessary to make Boston a city for everyone. Proud to stand with the residents & fellows at MGB Housestaff United.
I’m voting yes for an MGB Res/Fellow Union. I say it proudly for all the trainees in dpts more likely to face retaliation & to open the door for other staff who help run MGB but aren’t paid a living wage, plus the attendings paid below market value MGB Housestaff United
I’m voting yes for an MGB Res/Fellow Union. I say it proudly for our patients, because I want trainees to be stakeholders in the direction of MGB and partners in its investment in the community MGB Housestaff United
I’m voting yes for an MGB Res/Fellow Union. I say it proudly bc physicians in training deserve the power to negotiate their contracts as essential members of the health care workforce. We will care for you in a broken system, in the next pandemic, yr after yr. MGB Housestaff United
With 3 weeks left in my intern year I look at my YES union vote as one of my proudest achievements MGB Housestaff United
Meanwhile in NY the Residents just won expanded access to Haitian Creole remote and in-person interpreters in a huge victory for health equity. Still puzzled by our desire to unionize? MGB Housestaff United
Happy first clinical day to all the new IM interns at MGH IM Residents! Can’t wait to negotiate a contract with y’all by our side MGB Housestaff United CIR/SEIU
Disappointed that Mass General Brigham has failed to complete, let alone respond to our union’s request for information (RFI). With solicitation policies barring work emails as an option, this request is the main way to reach our unit. MGB Housestaff United
As MGB Housestaff United grew, MGB increased a 2.5% raise to ~10% + 10K stipend. We still unionized suspecting this $ wasn’t bc trainees are valued, but to make us think we didn’t need a union. Now they’re axing other benefits. We were right not to trust, and now we stand together.
Negotiating with MGB on salary one year after unionizing means hearing how residents/fellows don’t even deserve an inflation adjustment for salary 👎MGB Housestaff United
