Bertaccini on 'Any One of Us Can Be Alex!' “Grateful to read about support for workers…but when will city hall support nyc municipal retirees ….workers too (though former) with the same sort of concern ….for the healthcare that sustains their lives in their senior years.” — Rob on 'In Your Face, Adams! NYC Council Overrides Vetoes... “Any one of us is Alex!” — Michelle Keller on 'Any One of Us Can Be Alex' “Great article, Steve! Really connects the dots. And I’m proud (as a former ACTWU& UNITE organizer to see its successor unionists following in our footsteps of organizing immigrant workers, the best anti-poverty / pro-worker program that exists! (And one that raises ALL boats, “native”-born and immigrant alike.” — T Gogan on 'Both My Grandfathers Were Illegal Immigrants' “And what are the demands of this so called general strike? Vote for the Democrats in the mid term? Sounds fake.” — Sean Ahern on Gen Z is Ready for a General Strike--What About You? “Great article, Steve!” — Lauren W on 'No ICE, No KKK!' New Yorkers Protest in Solidarity with Twin Cities “It is impressive to see Nurses daring to take this stand both for their own protection and for additional staffing so they can properly take care of their patients. Part of the work they do is to provide emotional support as well as medical care. It is impossible to do that properly if they are fearful because of adequate safety protections.Additionally, they deserve full medical coverage if they get sick. When I started nursing 23 years ago, I was shocked that the Nurses I worked with were worried about their own health care coverage. That is totally unfair!” — Mike Stein, RN [ret.] on ‘Stop Ghosting Us,’ NYC Nurses Say in Record-Setting Strike' “Thank you City Councilmember Chris Marte and Joe Maniscalco for giving these abused workers a voice. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to give daily care to a disabled senior - yet not get paid for the hours most of us are permitted to get some uninterrupted sleep. In reasonable jobs “being on call” has never been for free. Yet Hochul insists on blocking their wage theft probe, despite two judges ruling their investigation continue? Haven’t we seen enough lawmakers using their power to quash the truth?! Do what’s right Governor Hochul!!

The point is that it is the syndicats-unions who are trying and so far losing to take it away!” — Suzy Sandor on Did Michael Mulgrew Just Admit He Screwed Up Retiree Healthcare? “And how about all the money these hospitals have in off shore investments? Non-profits? Hardly. In a capitalist system they all behave like capitalist bosses.” — Blair F.
