ACTIVISTS ALERT

Support the UMass University Campus RNs!

The RNs at UMass Memorial-University Campus, who are in the middle of contentious contract negotiations, are seeking support for a leafleting they are planning outside an awards ceremony to honor their CEO John O’Brien during the annual dinner of the Mass. Public Health Association, Thursday, April 27th at the Park Plaza Hotel.

UMMC management, under the leadership of CEO John O’Brien has put more than 50 concessions and takeaways on the table, allowed unsafe staffing conditions to continue unabated, particularly in the facility’s emergency department, while putting in place virulently anti-union labor relations staff to illegally target the nurses’ elected leaders.

In the midst of all of this the Massachusetts Public Association is honoring O’Brien at "having made a significant contribution to the promotion and development of public health programs at the local level in Massachusetts." The nurses want to send a message to Mr. O’Brien that you can’t claim to support public health while disrespecting and attacking those who are actually delivering the care. If you are interested, please join us.

If you plan on attending, please email enorton@mnarn.org or call Eileen at 781.830.5777.
