“It is impressive to see Nurses daring to take this stand both for their own protection and for additional staffing so they can properly take care of their patients. Part of the work they do is to provide emotional support as well as medical care. It is impossible to do that properly if they are fearful because of adequate safety protections.
Additionally, they deserve full medical coverage if they get sick. When I started nursing 23 years ago, I was shocked that the Nurses I worked with were worried about their own health care coverage. That is totally unfair!”

“Thank you City Councilmember Chris Marte and Joe Maniscalco for giving these abused workers a voice. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to give daily care to a disabled senior - yet not get paid for the hours most of us are permitted to get some uninterrupted sleep. In reasonable jobs “being on call” has never been for free. Yet Hochul insists on blocking their wage theft probe, despite two judges ruling their investigation continue? Haven’t we seen enough lawmakers using their power to quash the truth?! Do what’s right Governor Hochul!! We are watching!!”

“Terrific coverage of the protest!”

“Good conversation!”

“Thank you, Steve, for doing the good work to show what is happening in our shared world. You paint a picture that makes the heart ache and the mind recoil; it is horrifying, and the people will not stand silent.”

“The fact that NYCRETIREES are afraid and anxious about loosing traditional healthcare that they earned is true but not the point. The point is that it is the syndicats-unions who are trying and so far losing to take it away!”

“And how about all the money these hospitals have in off shore investments? Non-profits? Hardly. In a capitalist system they all behave like capitalist bosses.”

“Nothing quite like the facts of the matter.
And the people determined to stand up for them!”
