80,000+ Massachusetts healthcare workers united for quality care & quality jobs. Fastest growing union in #MA. Text SEIU to 30644. #WeCareForMA #1u #MAPoli

Born and raised in LA County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him. https://t.co/WYzt2Bv38I

State budgets are meant to invest and protect. The PCA budget is essential to #MA families. TY to House leadership for maintaining these services in your budget. We look forward to working with elected officials & allies to ensure the final budget protects the future of homecare.

Ralph de la Torre is saying he won’t comply with the subpoena to testify before the Senate HELP Committee. Join me live in Boston with my colleagues and the workers most impacted by de la Torre’s greed.

"With the Fair Share Amendment, Massachusetts asked the state’s wealthiest residents to pay a little more to make much-needed investments in education and transportation. Not even two years later, Fair Share is working as intended..." https://t.co/xQgxyESR7K

Steward’s decision to close two hospitals is fueled by greed. This isn’t over—we know they’ve received bids to maintain and improve their five remaining hospitals. Steward needs to put patients, workers, and communities over their own interest. Finalize the deals.

I am so grateful to have the endorsement of @1199mass alongside the @MassNurses in this campaign for State Representative. Healthcare in Massachusetts is at a critical juncture and we need input from these experienced healthcare workers on the kind of future we want for patients.

.@Steward workers and retirees shouldn't lose their benefits because of Steward's gross financial mismanagement. I joined @SenMarkey in urging @USDOL to protect workers' wages and benefits so they can support themselves and their families. https://t.co/Bm2iptcb7K

Today I'm introducing new legislation to prevent what happened with Steward Health Care from happening again. If private equity executives drive a hospital like Steward into bankruptcy, putting patients & communities at risk, there should be consequences. https://t.co/eRw7LD9UNk

.@SenSanders and I are calling on @HHSGov to be ready to provide support and ensure no one loses access to care due to @Steward’s catastrophic financial mismanagement. Every federal resource must be made available to states, providers, and patients.

Early this morning, Steward Health Care moved forward with a national bankruptcy filing, something our team has been anticipating for months. I want to be clear: Steward hospitals in our state remain open and @MassDPH is on the ground to ensure all patients receive quality care.
