"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking & inhumane."
--Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

GET INVOLVED . . .the world is run by those who show up

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
--Abraham Lincoln First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.

Remember! Never go into a disciplinary meeting with managers or a complaint/investigation interview without your Union Representative! And you can demand Union representation at any time during a meeting or interview.
Just say, "If this discussion could in any way lead to me being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my Union representative be present."

"The rich stay healthy, the sick stay poor"
--U2

If anyone ever tells you nothing is impossible, ask them to dribble a football.

Don't just sit there, do something.
--Reverend Peter Panagore
