A Member's View of the Rally: Mike Holy
I have this friend in the Union ...
He tells me that he was asked if he could take some time out of his busy
schedule last week to go downtown and help show some support for
some local Nursing and Health Care Workers Union Organizing Activities.
My buddy really didn’t feel like breaking up his day and heading back into
the city on his day off. But….he KNOWS what he has with the backing of
his Union ( NAGE in the VA ) so ...
... he broke up his day
... he took the drive into the city
and ... with what seemed
to be numbers in the hundreds
... he saw to it ( by his presence and
that of his Union brothers and sisters
in NAGE) that those colleagues of his,
other Nurses and Heath Techs, and
other Health Care Workers throughout
Maryland who do NOT have the benefit
of representation
SAW THE NUMBERS, FELT THE SUPPORT,
as they demonstrated for the simple right
of representation in the work place.
I have this friend in the Union ...
He really DIDN’T want to give up a portion of his day last week to go
Downtown ... but went anyway ... and came back home, a few
hours later ... KNOWING he’d done the RIGHT thing !
The struggle continues ... !
