  1. At #Brigham and Women's Hospital in #Boston, the strike is over with a new contract signed by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, and MGH Brigham, who has just locked out the #nurses in retaliation for having exercised their rights to bargain collectively, and to strike. This is one of many tactics which make organizing a challenge. Companies like MGH Brigham engage in them, because their management knows that organizing works, and that the board and investors expect absolute certainty of cost accounting, to wield corporate power over the lives of workers, lives that might not conform to balance sheets from years gone by. It is the workers who understand & tend to patient needs. Respect the workers. Respect #nurses and all other health workers. See that they have the capacity to save for their children's education.

    The new, energized, modern #labor #unions will be a principal activator in bringing a just and sustainable democracy to the USA.
