“Back Us, Back Our Nurses” Informational Picket & Rally

Members of all AFT Connecticut-affiliated unions are invited to show solidarity for the registered nurses at Backus Hospital who are demanding safer working conditions and “patients before profits.” This is an informational picket, an important step in current negotiations over successor contracts for caregivers with Hartford Healthcare, the network that operates their acute care facility.

Informational picketing begins at 6:00AM and concludes at noon. Feel free to stop by at any point during that time. The rally with a speaking program which will include labor leaders and state, regional and local elected officials begins at 8:00AM.

Free parking is available on the street.

Members unable to attend are encouraged to show support for our affiliated Backus Federation of Registered Nurses members by signing their petition.
