Monthly Status Report

December, 2005

On Friday December 16th Unit 7 members went to the State House to celebrate the holiday season with our Governor and Lt. Governor. While neither Romney nor Healey were able to come out to greet us (they of course find it much more productive, for themselves, to campaign rather than govern), they did send out the “Romney Grinch” to deliver us the present they said we deserve: COAL. We responded by singing situation specific Christmas Carols. Next in the name of our fellow providers and our patients we deposited coal in a large stocking and we took it into the State House and delivered it to the Governors office. The highlight of the stop at the Governors office was when Unit 7 member Karen Coughlin recited her translation of “The Grinch who Stole Christmas”, appropriately titled “The Mitt who Stole Contract”.

All in all it was a great and very wet day. It was just another step in our campaign to gain an equitable contract for Unit 7 and our patients.
