The Economy in Crisis
Millions of Americans are reeling from the nation’s severe economic crisis and need immediate action on solutions that work for everyone.  Unemployment is at historic levels, Americans are losing health insurance on a daily basis, and corporate greed has increased the income gap between those at the very top, and those of us in the middle class.

What does this mean for healthcare workers?

We provide vital healthcare services to the growing number of people most affected by this economic crisis. These services are in jeopardy as the widening crisis provokes a severe state budget shortfall. 

What is the solution?
As a Union, we are working to make sure Congress and our new President enact solutions to revive the American middle class, which in turn will help solve our state’s budget shortfall.

These solutions include:

• Pass an economic recovery plan that keeps people working, creates new jobs, and maintains services for our communities by providing much needed funds to state and local government programs.
• Pass the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure that workers, not just CEOs, benefit from the economic progress that they help create.
• Reform our healthcare system so that it lowers costs and provides quality, affordable health care for all.
