NEWS: Sanders Stands in Solidarity with Nearly 2,000 Nurses on Strike at One of New Jersey's Biggest Hospitals
Press Release
Issues: Labor Unions Health and Health Care
"Let's be clear: If RWJBH can afford to hire these replacement nurses and pay their executives millions each year, they can afford a contract that keeps nurses safe and provides living wages and good benefits. These workers have been on the frontlines in our fight against COVID-19 and have risked their lives to save patients under challenging conditions. They deserve better."
BREAK IN TRANSCRIOT
"I urge RWJUH to return to the negotiating table and bargain in good faith and end its unfair labor practices. This is your opportunity to do the right thing and work with your employees to improve your hospital for workers and patients. I look forward to your response."
