Thousands of nursing home workers protest over staffing standards
May 6, 2002
More than 2,000 Pennsylvania nursing home workers protested Wednesday in front of more than 32 facilities statewide in a push for better wages, staffing and job standards.
….96% of nursing home workers in [PA] say they don’t have the staffing necessary to provide the quality of care they would like to residents….
“Caregivers are burning out, getting hurt, and leaving these jobs. They’ve had enough, and it’s time…..to pass the sustainable, accountable funding our seniors and workers need,” Matthew Yarnell, president of SEIU Healthcare PA

That’s great Tina! I also think that unionizing is the best way to improve our lives at work!
I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps
everybody else experiencing issues with your site.
It looks like some of the written text in your content are running

this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Thank you
