[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



For years, powerful aerospace and engineering company Boeing has reaped
massive profits while deprioritizing workers and safety measures. As a
result, about 33,000 Boeing workers with the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) are currently on strike for better
pay, benefits, and safety protocols.

Shamefully, Boeing announced last week it was revoking company-sponsored
health care coverage for these workers and their families, a common
strike-breaking tactic used by greedy corporations like Boeing, General
Motors, and others.

Companies should not be able to use working families’ health care coverage
against them to undermine their fight for better pay and labor conditions.

As Medicare for All champion Senator Bernie Sanders pointed out, this is a
prime example of why health care should NOT be tied to employment, and why
the U.S. desperately needs a single-payer health care system under
Medicare for All.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Bernie Sanders: Boeing’s greed offers another perfect
example of why we need Medicare for All. Like other wealthy countries we
must guarantee health care to every man, woman, and child as a human
right, not a job benefit. Whether you’re on strike or not, everyone is
entitled to health care.

According to Common Dreams, “the striking Boeing workers said they plan to
remain steadfast despite the cutoff of benefits.” But no worker should
have to choose between fighting for their fair share and getting the
medical coverage they need for themselves and their families.

Together, we stand in solidarity with these machinists on strike and will
continue to fight for guaranteed health care for all in the United States,
regardless of employment or ability to pay.

In solidarity,
