Don’t call us Heroes and treat us as Zeros

For those who are not aware, this is my home Local and the hospital I served in for 21 years. I am a proud charter member of the Local, served on the organizing and negotiations committees and as president. I remain as a member of the Executive Board.
Management often calls our AFT Connecticut AFT Nurses & Health Professionals members heroes but treats them like zeros.
They are there every day for us at Backus, Windham, Natchaug, L&M, Johnson, Windham,Manchester, Rockville, John Dempsey, Danbury and New Milford hospitals, as well as many visiting nurses agencies, clinics and schools.
They have risked their lives for us in this pandemic.
This is the international Year of the Nurse and Midwife.
Let’s treat them like true heroes.
Please come out and support them.
