Healthcare workers will not continue to risk their lives with ZERO help from state and federal leaders. A nationwide healthcare worker strike is nearing...
In Chicago, 700 nursing-home workers are striking to demand hazard pay, better working conditions and PPE. We stand with you @SEIUhciimk. The world is watching! #StrikeForOurLives
Rather than provide safe working conditions, Infinity Healthcare Management called the police on workers demanding safe working conditions. We stand with you @SEIUhciimk. The world is watching!
Infinity Healthcare Management Owner Moishe Gubin “had indicated to some people that he would be available to negotiate last Sunday, but then left the state and has not been able to negotiate.”

Nurses at @MontefioreNYC New Rochelle Hospital plan to walk off the job Dec. 1, to pressure management to fill their thinned-out ranks & raise wages.
Montefiore New Rochelle management never rehired staff after younger nurses left in droves early in the pandemic
At Albany Medical Center in NY, nurses say they are forced to reuse N-95 masks after the equipment is put through a dubious sanitizing process. More than 200 nurses have quit since the pandemic began, according to the union.
Health-care workers in at least three states are moving to strike, demanding more staff and better pay, as the number of Covid-19 cases surges across the U.S., overwhelming hospitals and nursing homes. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

Rural Hospitals across America are overwhelmed by COVID19. It's MUCH WORSE than you think, because doctors are scared to speak out due to fear of getting fired by hospital administrators. This is from a doctor at a rural hospital in Pennsylvania. 1/4
🧵On my last ER shift, there were NO accepting hospitals for my ICU patients. Across Arizona, ⬆️HCW illness, ⬆️nursing ratios & ⬇️PPE. We need HELP!! This is not "living with the virus" it's dying from the virus. We need a shutdown @dougducey azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Healthcare workers did not sign up to work during an endless pandemic with ZERO help from state and federal governments. These healthcare workers gave their lives to treat patients with COVID in Arizona. Their families should all receive $500,000 death benefits. @dougducey
Rolando Clemente, Jr., 41, ER RN, Banner Desert Hospital, Phoenix, AZ died from COVID. He was gracious, welcoming, fun, and happy -while sick he was concerned for the safety of his colleagues nursing him

We have 105 COVID patients hospitalized at our small community hospital in Arizona!!! ICU is full! Where are the 175 ICU beds at @dougducey? This is NOT OK!
BREAKING: Pima County, Arizona implements a "voluntary curfew" amid record-breaking 878 new cases & unprecedented hospitalizations. Pima Co. has 1 million residents and contains Tucson, 2nd largest city in Arizona, also home to @uarizona 1/5
.@dougducey this is a cry for help from the County Administrator, Chuck Huckelberry: “We’re trying to get people to pay attention since we’re now at the worst point we’ve ever been with infections.” 2/5
The county does NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY to mandate a curfew, but it’s clear that one should be implemented. If @dougducey is not willing to implement preventive health measures to help frontline healthcare providers, we demand he grants powers to county officials statewide 3/5
🧵NO ICU BEDS! When our rural Arizona hospital ICU is full, we medevac patients to different hospitals across the state, BUT NOT TONIGHT, because there were NO ACCEPTING HOSPITALS, so for an entire 12 hour shift we managed ICU patients, while treating other emergencies. 1/13
There was one patient MEDEVACED via helicopter with head trauma to another hospital who needed a neurosurgeon, not to an ICU b/c there were no beds, but to an emergency room where they were taken care of by another ER physician until a NEURO ICU bed opened up. 2/13
Where are these 175 available ICU beds in Arizona, b/c for a rural hospital not to find accepting hospitals is problematic. SHOW ME which hospitals have beds that are STAFFED with nurses, because a bed WITHOUT a nurse is like a plane WITHOUT a pilot – USELESS 3/13
