Thank you to everyone for your signatures and support of our local nurses. Today, hundreds of St. Mary nurses took to the picket line to protest unsafe staffing and unfair labor practices. Your support means so much to them!
Please keep sharing and spreading the word around our local area. With your help, we can help our local nurses! The nurses' voices are so much stronger with the support of our community!
Julianna Feliciano Reyes of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a great piece on the strike and the reasons behind it, highlighting the issues nicely:
"Trinity Health, headquartered in Livonia, Mich., owns more than 90 hospitals across 22 states, including five in the Philadelphia area. The 371-bed St. Mary made an average of $58 million in profit in the last three years, according to Trinity Health’s audited financial documents. In 2019, it was the most profitable major acute care hospital in Southeastern Pennsylvania, after the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, according to an analysis by the Pa. Health Care Cost Containment Council."
