Our WCMH Employees United sisters and brothers have been provoked to strike by Hartford HealthCare (HHC) executives' refusal to reign in Windham Community Memorial Hospital (WCMH) managers' unfair labor practices. They are prepared to walk out on October 24 if the dispute is not resolved as part of a fair, mutual agreement on a new contract. These courageous health professionals need our solidarity - and our support for the hardship they may face.
After calling the nurses of Windham Community Memorial Hospital (WCMH) "heroes," Hartford HealthCare (HHC) has resisted fair contract proposals and allowed management to violate their rights. The nurses have since filed Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charges calling out HHC's intimidation and threatening tactics. They are prepared to strike begining September 22nd if a settlement is not reached.
