We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Nearly 1,000 UPMC Magee-Womens Hospitals nurses vote to unionize
Those in favor of a union at the hospital say the push came so that they can have more time with their patients along with having a seat at the decision-making table.

The budget fight isn’t over; there are solutions on the table. But we’re done accepting a system where the richest man in the state gets a free ride while the rest of us are told to tighten our belts.

Our members head back to work on Monday & welcome students back to school on 8/25. A strike is always a last resort; after all, we're parents of Philly school students, too.
The 1-year extension of our last CBA gave the School District ample notice of members' needs. Where's the urgency, SDP?
