THE 1199 SPECTRUM STRIKE ONE YEAR RALLY- SAT. APRIL 16 - 10 AM AT PARK PLACE HEALTH CENTER - HARTFORD

FOLLOWING IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM STEVE THORNTON OF DISTRICT 1199 NEW ENGLAND HEALTHCARE WORKERS:

Sisters and Brothers:

The one-year anniversary of the 1199 Spectrum nursing home workers' struggle is fast approaching. This Saturday, April 16 we will be organizing the biggest picket line yet to support them. The event takes place at 10:00 am at the Park Place Health Center, 5 Greenwood Street, Hartford.

You're invited!

Your solidarity has already played an critical role in supporting almost 400 workers who have faced firings, harrassment, bad faith bargaining and permanent replacements. And they haven't given in. In fact, they are as determined as ever to win their jobs and a decent contract.

The government has the Spectrum bosses on trial as I type this. But we can't simply wait for a judge's decision. These nurses, aides, dietary, housekeeping and laundry workers need you now.

If you have any questions please call me at 860-251-6013. See you on the picket line!
