• Tell Steward Execs: Respect Hillside's Nurses, Patients and Community
    The for-profit healthcare machine, Steward Healthcare, is up to familiar antics: silence the nurse, forget the patient and make more money. Our nurse’s union began contract negotiations in October 2018 and have been operating on a series of extensions with the hope of reaching a reasonable deal. Instead of a fair union contract, Steward insists on an either/or decision - agree to a loophole that could bust the union or accept unfairly low wages and concessions on healthcare benefits; a coupling of “shut up or earn less” proposals. Our union is our most effective platform to stand up for our patients who need us for our specialized and individualized care. Hillside is the only hospital in the area that rehabilitates amputees, paraplegics and quadriplegics, patients with multiple sclerosis, brain injuries, and Parkinson’s, or those recovering from a stroke. It is a shame Steward wants to force us to decide on patient advocacy or jeopardizing our own economic welfare. Steward’s familiar antics leave us concerned that Hillside will join other local institutions in the graveyard of once owned Steward facilities; a healthcare flip that they later deem as a flop because there were not enough commas after the dollar sign. Our patients cannot afford for us to be another casualty of Ohio’s unregulated healthcare system – one that allows profit-centered healthcare giants, like Steward, to chew up and spit out community-minded hospitals. Join us in telling Steward that our nursing union is the best platform to advocate for our patients. Nurses should not have to choose between their union or unfair wages!

  • Renovation of the Lana`i Community Health Center Dental Clinic

  • We say NO to Industry City's Rezoning of Sunset Park
    Sunset Park has the largest, working-class industrial waterfront in Brooklyn, but Industry City wants to turn it into a playground for the rich. Industry City wants to change current zoning to build large chain retail stores and luxury hotels, which may lead to luxury housing. We must protect long-time residents, workers, and small, locally-owned businesses from rising rents and displacement. This is our neighborhood. We should be deciding the future of our waterfront and neighborhood, not private developers like Industry City. Sunset Park tiene la costa de agua industrial más grande. La comunidad de Sunset Park cuenta con una población de personas mayormente de clase obrera y bajo ingreso en Brooklyn. Descaradamente los patrones de Industry City quieren destruir nuestra comunidad, y convertirlo en un patio de recreo para los ricos. Mediante el mecanismo de rezonificación ellos desean cambiar la zonificación actual para construir grandes cadenas de tiendas minoristas y hoteles de lujo, lo que puede llevar a viviendas de lujo. Debemos proteger a los residentes, trabajadores y pequeñas empresas de propiedad local desde hace mucho tiempo del aumento de alquileres y desplazamientos. Este es nuestro barrio. Deberíamos decidir el futuro de nuestra línea de costa y vecindario, no de desarrolladores privados como Industry City. Protect Sunset Park is a coalition of individuals and organizations representing residents, workers, students and small businesses. We are independent from outside groups. Join us and stay informed. Contact us: [email protected] --- Proteja a Sunset Park es una coalición de individuos y organizaciones que representan a residentes, trabajadores, estudiantes y pequeñas empresas.

  • St. Mary's Support Staff Deserve a Fair Contract
    The 68 support staff employees who work in the St. Mary's public schools deserve a living wage and salaries and benefits comparable to similar jobs in surrounding districts. The school board's negotiations team has threatened to terminate them and to hire an out-of-town for-profit corporation. These employees are only about 3 % of the district's budget. These are our friends, neighbors and family members. Tell the school board to stop trying to intimidate these dedicated employees and to settle a fair contract NOW.

  • UPDATED: UNM Hospital Employees: Sign the Petition and Comment – We Need a Fair Pay Increase - 2%...
    UNM Hospital Employees need to sign this petition NOW. When we started the petition in April we expected UNM Hospital Leadership to bargain in good faith with employees. We now know that the Chancellor and CEO of UNMH, along with the Board of Regents and the Hospital Trustees, are trying to hide from us and avoid addressing their failure to provide a Decent and Fair Pay Increase. Currently, UNM Hospital continues to offer only a 2% salary increase for employees. We are NOT BACKING DOWN. Please sign this petition and contact your State Representatives and State Senators and County Commissionsers by using the link below for a hand book with contact information - TELL THE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DEMAND UNMH PROVIDE A FAIR PAY RAISE. Link to hand book: http://www.nmhospitalworkersunion.com/My%20Docs/2019/2019%20UNMH%20We%20Deserve%20a%20Fair%20Wage%20Handbook%206-23-19.pdf 2% is unfair ... and insulting to employees who have gone for years with no cost of living pay raises or an insufficient pay raise way below what their cost of living has been for most of the past decade. And the pay structure/scale at UNMH needs a huge re-alignment, which has been known by managers for years. A study is expected to be completed this year and will need sufficient funds in the FY 2020 budget to implement long overdue increases to employees - ONLY the Board of Regents can make sure that money is in the budget.

  • Put an end to the Trump Tax Scam!
    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act showered billions of dollars on the wealthiest Americans and mega-corporations, but largely left out millions of working families, many of whom are feeling the pain of unexpectedly smaller tax refunds or even owing additional taxes! Rather than continuing to give trillions of dollars away in tax cuts to mega-corporations and cutting our healthcare, nutrition, and education in order to pay for them, Congress should repeal this upside down, harmful law and instead concentrate its efforts on strengthening working family credits so parents can better care for their families and become more financially secure.

  • PETITION TO CHANGE MEAL/BREAK LAW IN THE STATE OF TEXAS
    I AM A U.S. ARMY VETERAN AND I HAVE WORKED FOR MY CURRENT COMPANY FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN 200+ DAYS WITHOUT ANY LUNCH BREAKS OR BATHROOM BREAKS. I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING SINCE IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW OR REQUIRED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR AN EMPLOYER TO GIVE AN EMPLOYEE A BREAK OR LUNCH AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW MANY HOURS THEY WORK. THIS LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE! AN EMPLOYER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE IF AN EMPLOYEE GETS TO HAVE LUNCH OR NOT. STOP THE UNFAIR TREATMENT! SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP GET THIS FIXED. WE ARE EMPLOYEES, NOT SLAVES!

  • Support the Stone Creek Coffee Workers Union!
    Workers at Stone Creek Coffee have met for the past several months to discuss their issues at work, and are organizing to form a Union to meet with management as equals! Show your solidarity as they work with Teamsters Local 344 to build that vision. Lend your voice in support of the following issues: 1. We're proud to be Stone Creek employees. Stone Creek Coffee is a Milwaukee company, and we support local, quality made products. Our union will give a voice to the workers as equals, where we can have a contract to fix scheduling, hours of work, and other issues permanently. An open-door policy is fine, but we want a union contract! 2. Stone Creek workers deserve a raise. We are the faces and the muscle of the company, and wages of 8-10 dollars force us to rely on tips to survive. We deserve a fair days work for a fair days pay. 3. Stone Creek Coffee management should recognize our union, or at least remain neutral as we organize and find our voice. Milwaukee is a union town that respects working families – not union-busters.

  • Walmart: Don't eliminate greeters
    Walmart ought to keep their disabled greeters. There are petitions for individual disabled greeters to keep their jobs, but this is a general petition for Walmart not to eliminate this position in 1,000 stores, as they have announced they will do in April. Can't they afford to help these people by giving them jobs? Don't they realize the value of the job they do?

The vote by the Board of Commissioners to move the library is scheduled to take place on March 12, 2019, at 7:00 pm in the township building.
