“We’re not going to back down.” Nurses at St. Mary of Nazareth hospital in Chicago are on a one-day unfair labor practice strike. Prime Healthcare, the owners of the hospital, fired six nurses for protected union activity shortly after the nurses filed for a union election. The nurses are demanding better pay and benefits, safer working conditions, and the reinstatement of those fired. The unionization vote will take place on June 17, and they will join National Nurses United if successful.

100 Days on Strike We've been on strike for 100 days because Lorain County Commissioners refuse to come to the table for $1. That's $1 an hour. That's all. Those are the raises we are demanding. That would cost less than $300,000 -- and most of it would be covered by the state, NOT the county. Meanwhile, service failures are piling up. Clients are reaching out to us personally for guidance. The Dept of Health is saying our clients are falling through the cracks. Nursing home representatives -- people from management -- are coming to County Board meetings to describe months of delays and vulnerable clients not getting approvals. What have the Commissioners done since all this? For one, they've added $9 million in new administrative positions. While putting the county in crisis. Coming back to the table costs nothing! 100 days in, and we are stronger than we've ever been out here. We don't think we can say the same for Moore, Riddell, and Gallagher! @uawregion2b

These Texas Glaziers have been on strike since 05/21/2026!
