Union Grocery Workers & Nurses Take on the Bosses

from On Strike! · host On Strike!

We’re covering two important struggles on different sides of the country. Grocery workers in Seattle, unionized with UFCW Local 3000, are taking on their “progressive” bosses at PCC Community Markets and fighting for exciting demands like a $25/hour starting wage and $35/hour after three years in their upcoming contract. Nurses in New Jersey at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, unionized with United Steelworkers’ Local 4-200, have been on strike for more than two months and have faced attack after attack from the bosses and the courts, but they’re not backing down. Hear from workers involved in both struggles and how they’re fighting to win by building a rank-and-file campaign from the bottom up. At PCC, workers have encountered the resistance of top union leaders to their organizing efforts and demands. *Support the Robert Wood Johnson nurses by donating to their strike fund!
