Hey, it’s John.
I'm emailing you to ask if you'll please kick in any amount at all to UPMC's Solidarity Fund, as UPMC staff go on strike today for fairer wages + working conditions.
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a.k.a. UPMC, is the largest private employer in our entire Commonwealth. And today, their workers are flexing their collective power and exercising their right to strike for the wages and conditions they deserve.
They’ve been our heroes during the pandemic — it’s time they’re treated like it. ✊
Look, John: UPMC workers have shown up through all the challenges of the pandemic. Now, they need UPMC to show up for them, too.
If you ask me, these essential workers deserve all of this and MORE:
✅ Livable wages
✅ Affordable healthcare without medical debt
✅ Paid leave
✅ And the right to form a union without interference
Shouldn’t UPMC, the state’s largest charity & private employer worth BILLIONS, make sure none of our health care heroes are struggling to put food on the table? To me, that's a no-brainer. So I hope you'll join me in supporting UPMC staff walking the picket line right now by chipping in to the UPMC Solidarity Fund to support them while they're on strike.
The union way of life is sacred, and we should *always* protect it here in Pennsylvania and across the country. Thanks for standing with me. 🙏
In solidarity,
John
