TAKE A STAND AGAINST UNION BUSTING
…AND HAVE A GOOD TIME DOING IT!
Although there is a settlement of the strike, the nurses and professionals who have suffered a loss of wages during this four week-long strike still badly need our help. Please support this benefit!
Since March 31, over 1,500 nurses and technical/professional staff at
Temple University Hospital have been on strike, standing up for
patient safety and against blatant union busting efforts by the TUH
administration.
Temple University Hospital has hired a notorious strike breaking firm
to bring in scab labor from all over the country. In three weeks, they
spent more to try to break the union than the entire four year
contract would have cost them.
But the striking nurses are standing up to the University’s
union-busting. Now it’s time to stand up for the nurses whose fight
is really the fight of all working people who want decent pay and
benefits for the work we do.
The union is calling on supporters to pitch in with donations of
basic necessities for the families of the striking workers.
Donations can also be dropped off at the A-Space, 4722 Baltimore Ave, if you can’t make the event. Cash contributions to support the striking nurses' union can be made on-line at www.templewatch.org
or by check payable to PASNAP/Temple Solidarity Fund. Bring the check to the benefit.
