SEIU Local 73 strikers have been on strike against cuts to their pay and conditions since last Friday
THOUSANDS of health workers in Cook County, Illinois, are continuing strike action against attacks on their pay and conditions.
Meanwhile 100 Illinois librarians have formed a union in Maine in order to fight against jobs, funding and programme cuts.
The Cook County health workers, represented by SEIU Local 73, began picketing multiple locations across the County last Friday as their strike for a fair contract began at 6am that morning.
Last Thursday, Toni Preckwinkle’s negotiators walked out on bargaining and have refused to come back to the table.
