Tonight, the Executive Board of the Backus Hospital Nurses visited the picket line outside L+M hospital. It was not our first visit, nor will it be our last, but it was our first official visit as a group.
We presented the following to the brave workers at the line.

an Unfair Labor Practice
And whereas that same corporation has locked out its own workers
And whereas the governor, both US senators and our congressman, all area state senators and representatives, the mayor of New London, all of organized labor, and the southeastern Connecticut community stands with the L+M workers
And whereas we share a common responsibility to provide care for that community
Therefore be it resolved that the Backus Federation of Nurses,
