  1. Update on the #nursesstrike in #NewYorkCity

    AI is maybe the third most important thing I spoke to someone on the subway today

    Issue number one is the fact that they are ACTUALLY TRYING TO TAKE AWAY HEALTH CARE WORKERS' HEALTH CARE

    The class system and caste system that is trying to be cemented into being right now is just blatantly horrific and stupid

  2. Another solid episode covering worker action, especially glad to know what's up with #PCC grocery workers around Seattle:

    Copied from the video description:

    Grocery workers in Seattle, unionized with UFCW Local 3000, are taking on their “progressive” bosses at PCC Community Markets and fighting for exciting demands like a $25/hour starting wage and $35/hour after three years in their upcoming contract.

    Nurses in New Jersey at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, unionized with United Steelworkers’ Local 4-200, have been on strike for more than two months and have faced attack after attack from the bosses and the courts, but they’re not backing down.

    Hear from workers involved in both struggles and how they’re fighting to win by building a rank-and-file campaign from the bottom up. At PCC, workers have encountered the resistance of top union leaders to their organizing efforts and demands.

  5. CW: UK politics, nurses' strike

    Isn't it weird how the right-wing press get all outraged about how a day or 2 of strike action might put patients at risk, but are totally cool with 13 years of Tory dismantling of the NHS putting patients at risk.

    It's almost as if it's not really about what happens to patients, isn't it?

  6. We’re striking for our patients.
    We’re striking for our sanity.
    Since March 2020 we worked through blood sweat and tears and were branded ‘heroes’ despite any of us accepting this term.
    It’s our job, that’s what we’re trained to do
    Now we want the fair recognition we’re after- a fair pay rise that reflects the work of a university-trained, skilled, medical professional and we won’t back down.
    Support your nurses because (and I hope you don’t) you may need us someday.

  7. "In my first role as a newly qualified nurse in England last year, I didn’t work a single shift where there were enough nurses on duty. Even when I wasn’t on shift, I knew there were never enough nurses. Every day, the group chat for my ward would light up with requests for people to come in on their days off."

  8. Why do the nurses seem to be so happy being on strike. Laughing and joking on the picket line 🤬🤬 #NursesStrike #nurses

  9. The latest pay offer from the government is pathetic and was rejected by the Royal College of Nursing.

    I and my colleagues are at our lowest ebb, we're exhausted, and we have no energy left. There are record levels of sickness. So many of us are looking for a way out. This country is haemorrhaging "shop floor" nurses, there is zero incentive.

  10. An English government spokesman speaks...

    “The fact that the Royal College of Nursing has announced an escalation in strike action with no derogations, based on a vote from the minority of the nursing workforce, will be hugely concerning for patients."

    The Conservative Party won absolute power in the 2019 UK general election with 43.6% of the popular vote, and a 67.3% turnout.
