"This is the Largest Healthcare Strike in Oregon History" [ ± 1min]

Quote by mpu:
"Jan 11, 2025
Nearly 5,000 nurses and doctors just launched a historic strike across 8 Providence Healthcare hospitals in Oregon. It’s the biggest health care strike and first doctors' strike in state history. And it's happening because Providence has refused to negotiate for over a year -- putting profits over patient care and leaving workers with no choice but to walk out."

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.

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.
