We have several informative events coming up over the next few weeks that we want to make sure you're aware of! All events are being held virtually over Zoom, so you can join from anywhere.
March 26: What’s Behind the Rising Costs of Healthcare?
The U.S. healthcare system is the most expensive in the world – and our costs are only increasing each year, even as we bargain strong contracts. Meanwhile, the quality of care we receive hasn’t gotten any better, and healthcare workers are continuing to be pushed to the brink by understaffing.
What's behind it?
Join us on Thursday, March 26 at 7pm ET for an info session and discussion with Michael Kinnucan, a healthcare economist from the Fiscal Policy Institute.
We’ll discuss:
-
What are the factors driving skyrocketing costs
-
What these trends mean for working people
-
Why healthcare costs have become a central issue for Americans across the country and in negotiations at the bargaining table across all industries
As we see an increased presence of immigration enforcement in many workplaces, including some of our own, it’s important to know what your legal rights are at your job if you're in a situation like this.
Join us for our next virtual "Know Your Rights" training (conducted over Zoom) on Wednesday, April 22, at 7pm to hear from lawyers from the AFL-CIO, covering constitutional rights in and out of the workplace and how they apply to immigration enforcement, protesting and other acts of civil resistance.
If you or a coworker is more comfortable receiving the training in Spanish, we'll be hosting a training conducted in Spanish on April 15.
March is Women’s History Month! Please join the CWA National Women’s Committee for a Town Hall on Wednesday, March 25, from 7pm-8pm ET to discuss awareness and prevention of sexual violence in the workplace.
