I urge everyone who can make it to join me at St Pete's monday morning to support the picketing nurses. I'll be there with pastries and juice, if someone could brew alot of coffee that would be awesome. The more community support we show, the sooner they can get back to the job they love, which is CARING FOR YOU AND I WHEN WE ARE SICK. These are the most caring individuals in the health care industry, and they're being pushed around. WE CAN NOT ALLOW IT. If you can't make it to the picket, please write a letter of support for the nurses and send it in. These people work long, hard hours out of compassion for their fellow human beings, and they deserve better than what they're getting. Get mad, raise your voice, and together we can break their haughty power.

SOLIDARITY FOREVER!

Letter

Thanks for your post, Rob. I would be there in a second if I didn't have to work. The nurses at St. Pete's have helped me and my family through several emergencies and hospital visits with kindness and support. I don't think twice about showing them the same. Please tell us who to address a letter of support to, ,as I want to make sure it reaches the right person. Thank you!

I'm going to try and connect

I'm going to try and connect with their organizers and find out other ways we can support their efforts. When I know more, you will too.
