Enough is enough! @HartfordHealthC’s admins need to stop doing this. The law is the law. Specifically in PACU and the OR! #SafePatientLimits @AFTunion @AFTHealthcare @AFTCT

Healthcare professionals take an oath to "do no harm." That means not just providing quality care, but sounding the alarm when conditions aren't safe. Thank you @BackusNurses all you do for your patients. #CodeRed @AFTCT https://t.co/u8RwQddWXZ

It's unsafe for nurses and patients alike to have healthcare professionals working hours beyond their shifts. It puts patient care at risk and drives nurses away from the bedside. Thank you @BackusNurses & @AFTCT for standing up for safety. https://t.co/KSVBxcyw0b

Corporate greed is Boeing eliminating health care for striking workers, laying-off 10% of its workforce & ending pensions while it spent $43 billion on stock buybacks & its two disgraced CEOs receive over $100 million in golden parachutes after 346 passengers died on their watch.

Solidarity is a verb. It requires action. Proud of the big turnout here in CT to support @MachinistsUnion workers fighting for dignity and respect on the job.
