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 @BackusNurses all you do for your patients. #CodeRed @AFTCT ctpublic.org/news/2024-10-1…

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 @BackusNurses & @AFTCT for standing up for safety. norwichbulletin.com/story/news/loc…

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.

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

#Solidarity from coast to coast! Proud to stand w/local & state #union leaders in #MiddletownCT to send message to @IAM751 & W24 members in #WashingtonState;  in your struggle for justice w/@Boeing we've got your backs. #UnionYES @AFT @AFTCT @AFLCIO @MachinistsUnion @ConnAFLCIO

😎 It's working
