The 7800 workers in the Providence-Swedish Hospital System, represented by SEIU 1199 NW, will be striking for safer working conditions, more control over staffing and scheduling, and better pay. Providence healthcare pays its top 15 executives over $41 million, with routine raises and generous benefits, yet frontline workers have their benefits cut and cannot keep up with the rising cost of living. Now, with the strike looming, Providence has prepared for the strike by signing an $11 million contract with replacement scab workers and hiring 200 “tactical security” guards.

Our union brothers and sisters will be striking 24 hours a day for at least three days. UAW 4121 will be joining them on the picket line in solidarity! Come, and wear your blue!
