A member of UC Health speaks up
She was a L & D nurse - she faced retaliation and unfairly faced discrimination when she tried to #organize #copolitcs
This is horrifying to hear nurses deal with this on top of their job. #workers
She says that this bill impacts us all cause everyone needs medical & #healthcare she has been at her facility for 12 years and she won’t be scared of the retaliation - she’s staying at her employer so that she can continue to unionize #copolitcs
