ON THE RISE: DOCTORS UNIONIZING & ORGANIZING FOR SINGLE PAYER
RSVP today to join our allies at PNHP NY Metro Chapter this coming Tuesday, May 14th at 7:30pm Eastern for their virtual educational forum, On The Rise: Doctors Unionizing & Organizing for Single Payer.
"Physicians and other healthcare professionals are unionizing. What is motivating this phenomenon? How and why do fiercely independent professionals get organized? What are the connections between this increasing interest in unionization and in advocacy for establishing an equitable, single payer healthcare system that prioritizes patients rather than profits? Our May forum will feature frontline physicians who have been leaders in successful unionization efforts, in New York and from around the country, as well as professional labor union organizing staff. We will explore forces driving unionization, and the fight against both the corporate practice of medicine and broader financialization of healthcare."
Forum Cosponsors Include:
Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR-SEIU)
Doctors Council (SEIU)
Union of American Physicians & Dentists (UAPD) AFSCME, AFL-CIO
