Today's article in Minnesota Public Radio (link in next post) about issues at Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS) has brought to light concerns felt by many SEIU Healthcare MN & IA members who work at PPNCS. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ctp...
Picture of PPNCS worker Gabi with quote saying: "When I read this article, I see a call for help. Frontline workers at PPNCS struggle for our voices to be heard by executive leadership. This article confirms that people in middle management feel the same. At a contentious time for sexual and reproductive healthcare workers we need our leaders to be listening to our union members. I have no doubt Ruth (Richardson, the PPNCS CEO) believes in our mission. We need her to believe our workers when we say we need support."

The Trump Administration is trying to exclude nursing from the list of “professional” degrees—a change that would slash loan support for advanced nursing students & make higher education less accessible. This devalues the training & expertise of nurses. We won’t stay silent!

Billionaires keep getting richer. Families keep getting squeezed. And Rep. Pete Stauber and MAGA GOP keep making everyday life more expensive. No one in this country should go broke to get the care they need — full stop. #mnleg #WorkersOverBillionaires @repliishkozlowski.bsky.social @seiu.org

Thanks to Senator Jen McEwen and Representative Liish Kozlowski for helping us sound the alarm. Northland families are being pushed to the brink by massive healthcare cost increases that MAGA GOP politicians like Pete Stauber let happen. #duluth #mn08 #UnionStrong #mnleg
WDIO: Duluth Elected Officials spoke about rising healthcare costs “[The] increase is so steep that too many of us are wondering whether we’ll even be able to afford coverage going forward,” said Hanek. “We knew these massive increases were coming after HR1 passed this summer, cutting Medicaid and rolling back the policies that help keep insurance affordable on the open market. All so they could protect tax cuts for billionaires.”

Republicans are threatening to shut down the government to protect billionaire tax breaks—while 22M Americans face health care premiums jumping 75%. We need a budget for working people, not people with private jets. Call 877-851-2521 and tell congress to stop the #MAGAshutdown
Republicans want congress to choose between higher insurance premiums or a government shutdown. Tell Congress ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Call the Save Healthcare Hotline at 877-851-2521
