Nurses are organizing because of deteriorating conditions that impact both their working conditions & patient care. Since the pandemic, nurses have seen increasing short staffing that can leave nurses caring for an unsustainable number of patients, compromising patient care & worker safety.

Leagues can talk about growth, expansion, and the future of the sport — but none of that matters without real professional standards for the players who make it all possible.

We stand with USL players fighting for the basics.

Yesterday, on day 1,126 of our unfair labor practice strike, our return to work notice was sent to @post-gazette.com ownership.

“Every single step of the way, we have told the company and decision makers within it that this is what would happen.”

CWA members will not give up on this fight. Health care coverage is a matter of life and death. We expect our elected representatives to extend the ACA subsidies before they expire at the end of this year.

While Republican leaders in the Senate have agreed to hold a vote on extending the subsidies they have not committed to supporting an extension. The expiration of these subsidies, along with cuts to Medicaid, will drive up insurance costs for all of us & destroy over half a million health care jobs.
