UMRFA membees have challenges with the cost of childcare as a financial hardship during training. The AMA is taking note.

[AFT @AFTunion]

The University of Maryland Resident & Fellow Alliance (@umrfalliance) is fighting for a better future, & residents & fellows at the bargaining table have been fighting for their nearly 1000 colleagues who care for Baltimore everyday. It’s time for management to show up earnestly!

First Apple store to unionize, right in our own backyard!

Happy for the workers who will be compensated more in line with the huge profits brought in by the tech giant

Excellent work from an incredible physician-organizer @JLeuch13. We are proud to call her one of our own!

[AFT @AFTunion]

Today, @AFTUnion is excited to launch a brand-new doctors’ organizing initiative and division: Union Physicians of AFT. Doctors across the country are faced with crippling burnout —and now they’re organizing with the AFT to fight back.

Follow along in the thread below! #CodeRed

[Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) @organizeworkers]

The University of Maryland Medical Residents and Fellows (unit size ~950), supported by AFT and EWOC, won their union last night, 628–19! Three years of organizing to get to this point, and they beat back the anti-union firm Littler Mendelson! ❤️

"To see this come to fruition is incredibly special because we know this will not only be a step forward for the current residents and fellows of the hospital but also for all those to come." @UMRFalliance @AFT_Maryland @AFTHealthcare https://t.co/SfkDf0E7A5

Unionizing gives workers a voice on the job and a seat at the table. That’s especially important for healthcare professionals, to ensure safe conditions and quality care for patients. Welcome to the @AFT_Maryland family, @UMRFalliance! https://t.co/PKwtpgSWl6

[AFT-Maryland @AFT_Maryland]

Take notice, labor is on the move. @UMRFalliance activists organized for years to make this a reality. We're excited to add them to the AFTMD family. Maryland is powered by organized labor and residents & fellows at UMMC just showed that to the world.

Congratulations!

Being organized in a union is a one of the greatest change-makers in the workplace and excited to see these doctors taking the steps to fight for each other.

Standing in solidarity with @UMRFalliance today!

A big win for the union at University of Maryland Medical Center.

In a statement tonight, UMMC management says they “respect their decision and will bargain in good faith…with a goal of reaching an agreement that reinforces our commitment to extraordinary patient care”
