Today, we stood in solidarity with @nynurses to demand contracts with better salaries for nurses. The South Bronx has one of the highest hospitalization rates in the City due to respiratory illnesses, and our nurses are overexploited and underpaid. Enough is enough!

I’m on strike. Will be posting more (and writing for @jacobin and talking on my own platform and all the others that give me the time of day) about why we had to do this but I genuinely think this is an important battle against the Uberizarion of higher education.
