We had a very successful action in support of St. Luke's tech workers yesterday! Well over a hundred people turned out throughout the day for our 10 hour action on the corner of London Road and Superior Street. In addition to workers from St. Luke's Hospital, we were joined by tech workers from Essentia, miners from the Iron Range, teachers, public workers, paper mill workers, elected officials, the Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees, community activists and many others. And the support from passing motorists and pedestrians throughout the day was overwhelming! My ears are still ringing from all of the supportive honking. Our St. Luke's Negotiating Committee is at the table with the employer and a federal mediator today. Wish them luck, and continue to stand strong!
Here is a sampling of some of the media coverage that we received: https://www.northernnewsnow.com/2023/09/27/st-lukes-employees-rally-during-contract-negotiations/
