MERCY NURSES GETS HUGE COMMUNITY SUPPORT AS ONA REPRESENTED UNION NURSES STAND UP FOR JUSTICE
TIME FOR MERCY MEDICAL CENTER TO PONY UP! // TIME FOR AN ONA FIRST CONTRACT NOW!!
Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice supports Mercy Nurses in Roseburg Oregon with a car pool from Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass, and Hugo (Hugo?, look it up!). We joined an informational picket outside of Mercy Medical Center from 4 PM to 6 PM on July 16, 2007 right there on Stewart Parkway at a very busy traffic area.
WHAT WE SAW WAS NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOME! Nurses on the picket line, before and after shift, were joined by union and community supporters in one very strong verdict for justice. It was really fun to be there and see this take place. Here are some photos which better show you the action and the solidarity that stood there on the picket line in support of Mercy Nurses in Roseburg.
