Victory for Veracare Nursing Home Workers

Veracare

We just won a new contract. We won raises, affordable insurance, retirement benefits, and recognition of our seniority rights for paid time off.

We won because we braved the strike line twice and kept together throughout this contract fight. WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

Workers led the way and we were happy to be joined on the strike line by JB Pritzker & Juliana Stratton, who are running for Governor & Lt. Governor, Cook County Board Commissioner Jesús G. “Chuy” García, State Senator Daniel Biss, State Senator Jacqueline Y. Collins, State Representative Litesa Wallace, State Representative André M. Thapedi, State Representative-Elect Aaron Ortiz, Democratic nominee for Cook County Board District 7 Alma Anaya, and more.

Take a look back how we made this victory happen.
