Support Madison Nurses
The SEIU Nurses at Meriter notified their employer that they are prepared to strike beginning March 24, should the employer refuse to come to an agreement that helps nurses heal and better serve their patients, who many of us have been. The nurses have been on the frontline fighting with us and for us. It’s now time to stand with our Union Sisters and Brothers.

As of Sunday, NBC reports a tentative deal has been struck.

Petition for Confirmation of Labor Department Candidates: Walsh/Su
President Biden nominated lifelong champions of labor and workers’ rights last month to lead the Department of Labor (DOL): Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a longtime union leader, for secretary of labor, and California Labor Secretary Julie Su for deputy secretary of labor.
If confirmed, Marty Walsh would become the first union leader to head the DOL in more than four decades.
