Join us for a UIC Advanced Practice Provider Solidarity Break and Rally on July 21! Advanced Practice Providers with Local 73 will be at 1740 W Taylor, across from the hospital, from 12-12:30 p.m.

I'm in the room for some of the most important moments in my patients' lives. UIC's Board of Trustees doesn't think I deserve a voice in the room when it comes to my own job.

Disability Pride Month starts today. Disabled workers face higher unemployment, harder benefit processes, and workplaces that still treat accommodation like a favor. We know better. Because an injury to one is an injury to all.

BREAKING: SCOTUS cleared the way for the Trump admin to strip more than 350,000 people of their work permits and deportation protections. Families will be separated and jobs lost. All working people will feel the impact. Congress must act quickly to protect TPS holders & provide #CitizenshipForAll.

Skokie Public Library workers with Local 73 just won their second contract, and it includes some big wins! The library workers are essential to our community, and they must be treated as such.

This ruse by Pres. Trump was all about distracting working people while gas prices, food, and energy bills skyrocket all around us. None of us needed a new ballroom or a UFC event at the White House… We need a living wage, affordable healthcare, & strong union contracts so we can protect each other.

Last week Ericka White of @seiulocal73.bsky.social attended Palantir's virtual annual meeting. She'd hoped to raise some questions, but no attendees were given time to speak. Feels in line with how Palantir operates generally. 🤷🏾 What would you like to ask Palantir?

There is nothing more powerful than workers who refuse to be divided. LGBTQIA+ rights are workers’ rights. And this #PrideMonth, we’re making that crystal clear — in our locals, in our communities, and in the streets. United, we fight. United, we win. #pridemonth #unionstrong
