UChicago Medicine Trades and Supply workers’ #UCMCULPStrike is in full effect. It’s time for @UChicagoMed management to come back to the bargaining table and offer a fair contract with pay that keeps up with inflation, improved benefits, and protections for Supply Chain workers.

Researchers gave homeless people $750 per month for a year, no questions asked. The recipients spent the money on food, housing, transportation, clothing, and health care. And after six months, only 12% of those who received funds were still homeless. latimes.com/california/story…
$750 a month, no questions asked, improved the lives of homeless people

With 83% of our Union voting, and 94% of that voting NO, a supermajority of HBHWU members have rejected HBH management’s subpar “Last, Best, Final” offer. Our first bargaining session post-strike is November 21st. We hope that management is prepared to negotiate in good faith.
94% of our union voted no to Howard Brown Health's "last, best, and final offer." It's up to management to respect the democratic authority of their workers and return to bargaining tomorrow, November 21st, ready to negotiate in good faith. We deserve better.

Roni, a four year partner, was illegally fired from Greektown without due process. Partners have been denied sharps containers, access to the break room, and written communication from their manager. They walked out TODAY to strike & picket in solidarity 💅🏽
