Build the New York Healthcare workers Rank-and-File Committee to prevent a sellout and expand the nurses’ strike!

The following statement was issued by the New York Healthcare Workers Rank-and-File Committee. At the same time, the open-ended strike by tens of thousands of Kaiser healthcare workers underscores that nurses’ demands are national in scope and that the objective basis exists for a unified, nationwide movement of healthcare workers. The strike can be won, but only if healthcare workers take matters into their own hands. That is why we are taking the step of founding the New York Healthcare Workers Rank-and-File Committee. Organize roving pickets to reach out to transit, logistics, education, public-sector and other healthcare workers to prepare coordinated, cross-industry actions.
