Heath Care Action Day
The Jobs with Justice Health Care Action Committee, with support from IBEW and CWA, is organizing a "Health Care Action Day" on Thursday, May 22. The goal for the action is to link the struggle against employer efforts to shift health insurance premium costs to employees to the larger movement to win universal health care reforms.
At dozens of Verizon facilities across the state, Verizon workers will gather with union members from other companies, health care reform advocates and elected officials to demonstrate against cost shifting and rally for real health care reform.
