[NIH Fellows United-UAW @nihfellowsunite]

We won our union! We are the largest union of federal employees to form in more than a decade, and the first union of Fellows ever at a federal research facility. We’ve made history together. 💪

Instagram saw it first! Interest arbitration will be so important for our next contract negotiation. Let's bring in a neutral third party to resolve bargaining disputes and get the best contract possible next cycle!

[Resident & Fellow Physician Union - Northwest @RFPU_NW]

As Union doctors, our power lies in being able to resolve bargaining disputes and we cannot do that fully without interest arbitration rights. Tell Governor Inslee to pass HB 1307! Sign the petition and learn more about our bill here: https://t.co/cpEmvkvtGG

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

After the biggest strike in U.S. health care history, 85,000 Kaiser Permanente workers won huge concessions.

Workers will now vote on a 21% raise over four years, a minimum wage of $25 in California, and $23 in other states.

Unions work. Strikes work.

NEW PAPER 🚨 Just in time for Indigenous Peoples Day & ERAS season.

Indigenous physicians are highly underrepresented. We found it will take over 100 years to close the gap if current matriculation remains stable ‼️ We propose systemic solutions 💡

The picket at Virginia Mason is going strong! Morning phase until 8:30am, afternoon phase noon to 2pm. Stop by 925 Seneca St. and support WSNA nurses as they fight for patient safety and a fair contract!

New in @NEJM.

“Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.”

BREAKING: 75k Kaiser Permanente workers walked off the job today in what is set to be the largest health-care strike in U.S. history.

The union say the company is not bargaining in good faith to address dire staffing shortages.

[Dr. Brian H. Williams @DrBrianWilliams]

There are fewer Black men entering med school today than in 1978. There are numerous hurdles to addressing racial disparities in health care, but increasing diversity in the medical profession is a clear way to improve outcomes. Our piece in @USATODAY:

The impact of suicide results in:

◼️Loss of 300 - 400 doctors annually

◼️Surgeons have some of the highest rates

Proud of my friend @lubitz_carrie for having the courage to share her story.

This is a must read for healthcare professionals. https://t.co/JvcUgHcUK2

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

CIR members are excited to endorse @BobFergusonAG for Washington Governor. As a proven champion for working people, we know he’s the person for the job!

[Resident & Fellow Physician Union - Northwest @RFPU_NW]

“Now, in a major victory for disability health advocates, the NIH announced today that it has designated people with disabilities as a ‘health disparity population.’
The term .. dramatically expands access to funding and resources.”

Long needed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 https://t.co/BlWNjKeAtD

[Resident & Fellow Physician Union - Northwest @RFPU_NW]

Look at what we’ve been up to! Here are some photos of your Union’s board members and leaders at some exciting events and opportunities! 🔥
Join a working group and you could do these fun things too 🤠

The Mayor reportedly told City unions to "rally your ass off," they don't scare him. He should be scared. The City, offering a pathetic 2% raise to workers, has three months to give their workers a fair wage before their contract allows them to strike.

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Today we take industrial action in the form of a full 48 hour walk out from 7am (Thursday 21 September ) until 7am Saturday 23 September. Don't go to work, join a picket line and show the Government we continue to fight for #PayRestoration
