This Monday April 11, the DCNA represented healthcare workers at Howard University Hospital are going on a one day strike!

After nearly nine months of bargaining, Howard University President Dr. Wayne Frederick and Howard University Hospital CEO Anita Jenkins have refused to address the severe and dangerous staffing shortage at the hospital that has persisted throughout the pandemic. On top of that, they proposed cuts to shift differentials that will reduce pay for nurses, pharmacists, dietitians and social workers, before walking away from the bargaining table entirely.

This is an outrageous injustice to these healthcare workers who have put their physical and mental health in jeopardy to keep our families and our community safe through the pandemic and beyond.

Join DCNA and DC JWJ this Monday at 11am to rally to support these courageous workers! Please RSVP HERE and email [email protected] with any questions!
