Chase Brexton fired five employees in an effort to intimidate workers leading up to a union vote. The workers are organizing against poor working conditions and policies that threaten patient care. As those patients, we are outraged that the people we depend upon to keep us healthy are being treated in such detrimental ways.

We believed that this organization, whose mission is to serve low-income and LGBTQ people, would treat people fairly. Large institutions that serve marginalized people have a duty to use their economic power to foster economic justice. That starts at home, with its own employees.

Right now, CEO Richard Larison and the executive team of Chase Brexton are failing our communities.

We are signing today to send a message: rehire these employees, stop interfering with the right to unionize, and take the health of your employees and patients seriously.
