[1]National Nurses United

Hey There. I’m Max — an organizer for the Nurses’ Medicare for
All campaign.

This past Monday, National Nurses United was proud to join devoted UAW
members on the picket line in Memphis. And I wanted to take a moment to
explain why this issue is so important, how it connects to our work to Win
Medicare for All, and why we’re proud to join the UAW in solidarity in
this fight.

Medicare for All event near Washington by following this link.
Otherwise, keep reading for more info about this crucial UAW strike, and
how it relates to our movement for health care justice.

Here’s the backstory:

50,000 members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) have been on strike since
September. One of the biggest issues they are fighting over is health care
benefits — the costs of which General Motors (GM) continues to try and
pass on to their workers, even though the company earned over $147 billion
in 2018.

That’s appalling. And it’s a sobering reminder that we can’t rely on the
generosity and benevolence of corporate CEOs. No matter how sky-high their
profits are, they will always look for new ways to cut corners, slash
costs, and exploit workers.

With Medicare for All, unions and GM workers would no longer need to
negotiate for health care benefits. It would simply be guaranteed
regardless of one’s employer. And that leaves unions with more bargaining
power to use on better wages and all-around improved working conditions
and worker protections.

[ [link removed] ]These GM attacks are an attack on all of us. As fellow union members,
workers, and advocates for a better tomorrow, we will continue to fight
back. And I hope that you’ll join us by hosting a nearby Medicare for All
event.

There’s no two ways about it: Medicare for All is a win for workers and
union members alike. And every day that passes, we get closer to achieving
it.

I hope you’ll join us in this fight, and we’re so grateful for all that
you do already.

In solidarity,

Max Cotterill
