Enough is enough! @HartfordHealthC’s admins need to stop doing this. The law is the law. Specifically in PACU and the OR! #SafePatientLimits @AFTunion @AFTHealthcare @AFTCT

Healthcare professionals take an oath to "do no harm." That means not just providing quality care, but sounding the alarm when conditions aren't safe. Thank you @BackusNurses all you do for your patients. #CodeRed @AFTCT ctpublic.org/news/2024-10-16…

It's unsafe for nurses and patients alike to have healthcare professionals working hours beyond their shifts. It puts patient care at risk and drives nurses away from the bedside. Thank you @BackusNurses & @AFTCT for standing up for safety. norwichbulletin.com/story/ne…

😎 It's working
Labor news: Union election petitions shot up 27% in the most recent fiscal year, and they’ve doubled since FY2021, per new NLRB data.
“The surge in cases we’ve received in the last few years is a testament to workers knowing and exercising their rights,” says @NLRBGC Abruzzo.
