Fighting off potential privatization was the topic of our Jan. 30, 2020, membership meeting. In partnership with the other unions making up the UConn Health Labor Coalition, we invited lawmakers to hear employees' stories of what they do to serve the public and why it's important that UConn Health remains a public institution.
Members from multiple unions crowded in to Keller Auditorium for a discussion on engaging elected officials and harnessing the power of our collective voices to advocate for the future of UConn Health, and with that, our hard-fought contractual benefits including retirement, health care, wages and working conditions.
Want to get more involved? Another chance to advocate to lawmakers is Feb. 29, at the AFT CT Legislative Issues Conference. Grab a coworker and sign up today -- it's a terrific learning experience!
