Yesterday was May
1st, International Workers Day. How did the bosses of the Alameda
Health System celebrate? They posted lies on social media about the
working conditions in our public hospitals.
As AHS bosses tweeted this lie,
workers in the ER at Highland Hospital were caring for COVID patients
without the protective head covers they need to stay safe; AHS was
having untrained personnel like parking lot attendants screen patients
for the virus; and just 2 weeks ago, Saber Alaoui, a nurse at Highland was fired
for wearing a trash bag
when no protective gowns were available.
Take
a moment to stand with AHS workers fighting for safe conditions and
the public health! Respond to these social media lies and tell AHS
that you stand with frontline workers!
In the face of lies and
retaliations, workers are fighting back. Just this week, AHS workers
rallied in front of San Leandro Hospital to draw attention to the
unsafe conditions facing workers and patients alike. Check out what one nurse had to say about
COVID-19 and the situation in our public hospitals.
East Bay DSA stands in solidarity
with our public healthcare workers. AHS workers have called on us to
put these AHS bosses on blast.?
Comment
on the AHS tweet and Facebook post. Let them know that the public is
watching them!
In Solidarity,
East Bay DSA
