Take Action

PLEASE SIGN: Tell Vita Healthcare — Invest in Quality Care!

Vita Healthcare Group is slashing wages at Somerton Center and Garden Spring Center nursing homes and making healthcare unaffordable for their families. We demand Vita Healthcare end the lowering of standards at our nursing homes and begin investing in them. Stand with us.

Prevent Workplace Violence

Recently introduced legislation would provide needed protections for health care and social services workers from violence on the job. Tell Congress to support an OSHA workplace violence standard.

Sign the Petition to Support Stop & Shop Workers

Natalie Sowinski on Tuesday, April 16 - 4:14pm

Over 31,000 members of the UFCW who work at over 240 Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut have gone on strike after the company proposed completely unreasonable and drastic cuts to health care, take-home pay, and benefits. We know these hard-working employees deserve better. It is their hard work and dedication to customer service that made Stop & Shop New England’s top grocery store and its parent company, Ahold Delhaize, more than $2 billion in profits last year. These workers need your help to win a fair contract.
