Healthcare Worker Crisis
Resource Portal
Over many decades, corporate greed, inadequate payment systems and structural racism have combined to create a healthcare system on the brink of collapse - and healthcare workers and those who they care for and serve are paying the price.
This portal provides resources for union staff to support workers in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and home- and community-based settings who are demanding that healthcare corporations, elected leaders, and policy makers at all levels of government
fix our nation’s worsening care crisis.
