[1]NNU - Medicare for All!



Right now, the health care industry is attempting to misclassify nurses as
independent contractors and turn our jobs into gig work. It’s what we’re
calling the “gigification” of health care — and it’s about nothing more
than increasing profits by cutting labor costs for hospitals.

[ [link removed] ]To learn more about this dangerous scheme and why it matters in our
fight to win Medicare for All, will you join us for tonight’s webinar,
‘Uber for Nurses? The "Gigification" of Health Care’?

Tonight’s webinar is the second in our Summer 2022 Public Education
Series, ‘The Fight for the Future of Health Care.’ As we’re fighting for
Medicare for All, we’re not just fighting for guaranteed health care for
all — we’re fighting for every patient to have high-quality, direct,
hands-on care of registered nurses and other professional caregivers. It’s
crucial that we learn about dangerous trends in the health care industry
so we know how to fight back.

During the webinar, we will:

* Look at how the hospital industry's quest to maximize profits by
automating and relocating care from hospitals to the home opens the
door to shifting more nurses and health care workers into a precarious
gig-worker model.
* Examine the implications for quality of care, job quality, and worker
power as a result of these shifting circumstances.
* Explore how the "gigification" of health care is a symptom of the
fundamental difference between the corporate, for-profit model and the
care-driven model of Medicare for All that the nurses envision.

We will also hear directly from experts with National Nurses United’s
Education Department, as well as our special guest speakers: Zenei
Triunfo-Cortez, RN, NNU President; Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, incoming
Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the California Labor Federation; Veena
Dubal, Professor of Law, UC Hastings; and Gabriel Winant, Assistant
Professor of History, University of Chicago.

for the sake of increased profit. You won’t want to miss tonight’s webinar,
so please RSVP now to join us.

In Solidarity,

Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
