Nurses will be joined by labor and community activists this Saturday for a major rally outside Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
Rallygoers will call on Johns Hopkins to cancel all medical debt lawsuits filed against low-income patients, stop garnishing wages, and make sure that all patients are informed of the opportunity to qualify for free or reduced medical care at Johns Hopkins facilities. The rally – from 2 to 3pm -- will also press Johns Hopkins to respect the right of RNs who want to unionize with the National Nurses Organizing Committee/NNU. As always, for all the latest local labor calendar listings, go to dclabor.org and click on Calendar. In today’s labor history, on this date in 1848, the Women's Rights Convention opened in Seneca Falls, New York. Delegates adopted a Declaration of Women's Rights and called for women's suffrage. Today’s labor quote is from the 1848 Declaration of Women's Rights: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Union City Radio is supported by our friends at Union Plus.
