Transportation may be available from Lynn Please join not yet union hospital workers, members of 1199SEIU, allies, and elected officials in a march and rally for Boston hospital workers
About the campaign - Many Boston hospital workers are struggling to make ends meet on wages that don't reward our years of labor, and thousands of us can't afford healthcare for ourselves or our children. We have a vision of making our hospitals workplaces where caregivers have dignity and respect by joining together as a union with 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. We want to make sure our patients get even better care. In cities throughout the country, hospital executives have agreed to codes of conduct guaranteeing a Free and Fair voting election process for healthcare workers who want to vote to form a union. Now, we must ensure that all Boston hospital workers have the same opportunity. When workers have a free and fair election process, we are FREE to make up our own minds through FAIR secret ballot voting conditions.
What Are "Free & Fair" Elections?
A Free and Fair union election means that employees are Free to decide whether we want to join together as a union, Free from management intimidation in a Fair secret ballot vote. Free and fair election agreements often include the following principles:
Hospital workers would be allowed to make our own decision to join together as a union;
Hospital executives would not devote patient care funds to run an anti-union campaign;
Hospital workers would not be forced into meetings, taken away from patient care duties, to dissuade us from joining
together as a union;
Union supporters would run a positive campaign without personal attacks against the administration;
The election would be done quickly, any disputes resolved quickly and fairly, and the election results would be honored,
whatever the outcome;
Management and the union agree not to violate any labor laws;
This Code of Conduct would be agreed to in writing, so that it is legally enforceable.
