I appreciate this support for striking working people - fighting back working people - here at the World Socialist Web Site. I want to bring to your attention the striking nurses at Rhode Island Hospital . The vote to strike was nearly unanimous.
I learned about the pending strike from a dear friend whose registered nurse wife is today walking the picket line - described as " noisy " by local radio news. A cancer patient inside the hospital with a sign in his window supporting the striking nurses was told ( or asked ? ) to remove the sign.
I sent a short letter to the Providence Journal :
"As a resident citizen of Rhode Island I want to express my complete support for the striking nurses at Rhode Island Hospital. The American working class has been suffering bipartisan attacks on their standard of living for decades now. Time to fight back collectively .
I learned about the pending strike at Rhode Island Hospital from a dear friend whose registered nurse wife is walking the picket line today. As a democratic socialist I think every aspect of FOR PROFIT health care must be reformed to fit the ideal – once clearly expressed by the late Senator Ted Kennedy – of health care as a basic human right NOT a big business."
