Twice this week, unionized workers have shut down streets around the capitol in protest of Gov. Ned Lamont’s state budget plans.
Most recently, long-term care workers and members of New England Health Care Employees Union District 1199, SEIU staged a picket Thursday afternoon outside the state Office of Policy and Management in Hartford.
They demanded that the state provide more funding for better wages and benefits that reflect their roles on the front-lines of the pandemic in nursing facilities, home care, and group homes.
“We are so invisible, we are so voiceless to them,” union president Rob Baril said into a bull horn, “that they can’t find money to pay people who have suffered, who have bled, you have comforted the ill and who understand every day what it is to fight to make Black and brown lives matter, to make the lives of the elderly and the sick matter.”
