I’m proud to stand in solidarity with @nationalnurses.bsky.social at University Medical Center New Orleans on strike for a fair first contract.
These nurses are facing a staffing crisis because of UMCNO's refusal to provide fair wages, benefits & working conditions. Enough is enough.

New Orleans nurses are on the strike line this week because fewer and fewer staff are staying long-term at UMC. Meanwhile, LCMC executives are making obscene amounts of money.
How about investing those profits into nurse retention instead of executive pay?

Proposition 50 passes! 🎉 This is an incredible victory to protect democracy and combat Trump’s congressional power grab.
Nurses and other volunteers knocked on 17,000 doors and made almost 400,000 calls urging voters to say #YesOnProp50. THIS is the power of patient advocacy!

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.
We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.
