HARTFORD Amid looming strikes, hundreds of nursing home workers will rally outside the governor’s mansion Saturday afternoon in a show of displeasure over stalled contract negotiations.
Pedro Zayas, communications director for SEIU District 1199 New England, said over 200 nursing home employees are expected to join members of Recovery For All Coalition, an organization of labor and faith organizations that has been pressing state officials for more tax relief for the poor and greater state spending on health care, social services and communities in need, in protest Saturday.
The group is gathering near Elizabeth Park. From there, they plan to march to Gov. Ned Lamont’s nearby residence, where they will hold a rally.

When Jonathan and Sarah Hammer began looking for a house in West Hartford, a bustling suburb abutting Connecticut’s capital city, it was immediately clear that they were in a fiercely competitive market. Early in March, they submitted an offer for $16,000 above the asking price for a five-bedroom colonial. Their offer was rejected, and the property later sold for closer to $90,000 above list.
