R-E-S-P-A-S-T. Find out what it means to me.
R-E-S-P-E.
Amber Anderson, A-M-B-E-R-A-N-D-E-R-S-O-N.
We're on strike.
R-E-C-O-N.
Yeah, I'm one of the nurses with SEIU.
In the World Bank, for a Commander Hospital, you guys have the decision to manage,
the post-track that you've done.
That's a business for what's possible today.
Yeah, so we've been in negotiations for, I think, over four months now.
Over 20 bargaining sessions.
We are wanting to get safer staffing levels, better security measures,
and equitable pay, and PTO.
Is there anything else in general?
One thing I would say is this has kind of been building up to this point.
I would say, Meritor, we have avoided the situation in years past,
but it's come to one of the points that this is where we had to go.
I was on the bargaining team, our previous contract, I think it was 2023,
and we went to strike authorization, so we got that vote,
but we didn't have to proceed further than that.
I would say this is a systemic issue that has happened for many years.
This is just a very special moment in time where we're taking this opportunity.
There's a lot of people rallying around healthcare workers, especially after COVID,
and we are finally standing up for ourselves and fighting for what we need and deserve.
Yeah, this is the very first strike at Meritor, and I believe with SEIU in Wisconsin.
Yeah, no, I'm glad you know I don't.
It's cool, ain't it?
