Community Leaders Tell Ascension to Put Patients Before Profits
September 7, 2016--Bargaining at St. Francis Hospital began with a tremendous show of support from union members, elected officials, healthcare professionals, community and faith leaders, and neighbors of the hospital. A powerful message was delivered to Ascension Health--the largest nonprofit healthcare corporation in the country--that Ascension should put patients before profits, keep St. Francis and St. Joe's open, and keep the quality healthcare services and good, family-supporting jobs in our community.

IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE ACTION!!
Brothers and Sisters:
Please call or email your legislators ASAP and throw your support behind Senate & Assembly bills S2372 & A3929 that establishes State School Aid Funding Fairness Commission. These bills would increase funding for Newark by $90M. Help us avoid future layoffs that will occur under Christie’s $6,900 per pupil state aid proposal. Find your legislator here http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp and help us thwart the Governors ill-fated proposal.
In Solidarity,
John M Abeigon
President & Director of Organization
Newark Teachers Union, Local 481, AFT, AFL-CIO
