SUPPORT STRIKING TEMPLE NURSES

TAKE A STAND AGAINST UNION BUSTING

…AND HAVE A GOOD TIME DOING IT!

Since March 31, over 1,500 nurses and technical/professional staff at Temple University Hospital have been on strike, standing up for patient safety and against blatant union busting efforts by the TUH administration. Temple University Hospital has hired a notorious strike breaking firm to bring in scab labor from all over the country.

In three weeks, they spent more to try to break the union than the entire four year contract would have cost them.

The striking nurses are standing up to the University’s union-busting. Now it’s time to stand up for the nurses whose fight is really the fight of all working people who want decent pay and benefits for the work we do.

The union is calling on supporters to pitch in with donations of basic necessities for the families of the striking workers.
