Nurses were met with overwhelming support this past Saturday as we engaged with our community outside of the SMOOCH annual benefit show in downtown Seattle.

I heart nurses’ stickers flew out of our hands and many deep conversations were had around the impact of submarket wages, depleted sick time banks, and the degradation of trust that comes along with bargaining proposals that attack union strength and collective action at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Seattle Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson supports our fight!
