‘Health Care, Not Wealth Care’: Michigan Nurses Continue Strike - PopularResistance.Org
Grand Blanc, Mich.igan—Anyone driving down Holly Rd. would be hard-pressed to miss the entrance to the newly acquired Henry Ford Hospital. In the eight months since Labor Day, local nurses have picketed outside with signs that read, “patient care over profits” and “it’s health care, not wealth care.” This area is no stranger to collective bargaining; Detroit, the birthplace of the United Auto Workers (UAW), is a mere hour’s drive from where these nurses are carrying out one of the longest strikes in Michigan history. Organizers for Local 332 proudly channel that history as they stand against the second-largest health system in Michigan.
