Скачать или смотреть On the Frontlines: Ohio Firefighters’ Legislative Push & Maine Nurses’ Victory

Today, we bring you stories from the frontlines of labor advocacy, featuring leaders from the fire service and nursing who are fighting for safety, respect, and fair treatment.



Segment 1: Protecting Ohio’s Bravest (OAPFF) We are joined by Jon Harvey, President of the Ohio Association of Professional Fire Fighters (OAPFF), and Steve Stein, the OAPFF Director of Governmental Affairs. They discuss the current legislative landscape in Ohio, the critical work being done to protect firefighter pensions and safety standards, and the importance of political action in maintaining the resources first responders need to save lives.



Segment 2: Nurses United in Maine (MSNA/NNU) In our second segment, we speak with Terry Caron, an RN at Northern Maine Medical Center (NMMC) and member of the Maine State Nurses Association (MSNA), an affiliate of National Nurses United (NNU). Terry shares the details of their recent battles at NMMC, including a decisive union recertification vote and a significant settlement following Department of Labor citations against the hospital. We discuss what this victory means for patient care, safe staffing, and the power of collective bargaining.
