90.5 WESA Nursing home workers rally for better working conditions near the Beaver Valley Heathcare and Rehabilitation Center on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.
More than a dozen nursing home workers gathered on the side of a winding, rural road outside the Beaver Valley Healthcare and Rehab Center on Tuesday afternoon to protest working conditions at the facility.
Georgetown Road in Beaver Falls doesn’t get a lot of traffic, but the demonstration was one of many taking place across Pennsylvania.
“No better time than contract season,” said nurse’s aide Dawn Trufley. According to SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, some 4,500 nursing home staff at more than 80 facilities across the state will negotiate new union contracts this year.
