🏥 Proud to stand with the dedicated nurses of Danbury Hospital as they negotiate for better working conditions. I fully support their efforts to improve patient care and ensure fair treatment for our healthcare heroes. Let's prioritize the well-being of those who care for us.

Through collective bargaining and organizing, we're making progress towards safer workplaces for all.
As we observe #WorkersMemorialDay this weekend, we remember the workers we've lost & redouble our efforts to fight for safe workplaces.
