Healthcare workers with @1199SEIU UHWE are speaking out, urging Rochester Regional Health to halt proposed layoffs that could impact more than 100 workers. Cutting these jobs doesn’t just hurt workers — it puts patient trust at risk. northcountrynow.com/stories/…

TODAY, we are 100,000 strong & we aren't backing down.
We just introduced a bill for our right to unionize. We are the backbone of this industry.
✅ Fair Pay is a right.
✅ Safety is a right.
✅ A Union is a NECESSITY.
We have the power to make this happen. See you at the Statehouse.✊

Ohio pediatricians spoke up for kids—and got fired for it. Now doctors are suing for retaliation and defamation after raising alarms about understaffing, lab delays, and medication shortages. Even Bernie Sanders is calling it out.
Silencing doctors doesn't serve anyone.

Rather than respecting the right of its doctors to advocate for better working conditions and care for patients, University Hospitals in Ohio chose to fire pediatricians Drs. Beene and Fouts-Fowler for speaking up.
University Hospitals must immediately reinstate these doctors.

This is an attack on nurses. Capping loan forgiveness means fewer people enter the field — in a nation that is already short on nurses.
Hurting nurses means hurting patients. #UnionsForAll

A new Department of Labor proposal could strip 3 million home care workers of minimum wage overtime — reopening the “companion” loophole bosses use to pay poverty wages.
Workers like Angela live off OT. Losing it means losing food, rent, survival. capitalandmain.com/home-care…

A UPMC nurse was beaten unconscious — and corporate execs want to “talk” instead of act. Nurses have been begging for safe staffing, real security, and basic protections for YEARS. Workers aren’t disposable! pennlive.com/news/2025/11/up…

This only confirms what we already knew: when we pay and value care workers, we get better care. Period.

NOW: 600 Allina doctors, physicians’ assistants, and nurse practitioners who are members of Doctors Council - SEIU are on a 1-day ULP strike. The union hoped they could avoid a strike, but Allina continues to propose cuts and changes that would be bad for providers and patients.
