Progressives push forward with legislative priorities despite filibuster threat


Progressives push forward with legislative priorities despite filibuster threat
By Grace Segers
Biden s infrastructure plan lacks GOP support
For the first time in over a decade, Democrats have what is known as a trifecta of power, with control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. In theory, this would make it easier for Democrats to pass their legislative priorities, but their extremely narrow majorities in both houses of Congress may act as a stumbling block to accomplishing their goals.
The House has already passed measures shoring up voting rights, enacting campaign finance reform, enshrining legal protections for LGBTQ Americans, raising the federal minimum wage, and implementing stronger background checks for firearm purchases. Progressives in Congress see the opportunity to enact lasting change but they are hampered by their narrow majorities and Senate rules. ....

Massachusetts nurses vote to strike for safe staffing ratios


Massachusetts nurses vote to strike for safe staffing ratios
The nurses at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, have been working since November 2019 without a contract. On February 10, they gave their overwhelming approval for strike action for safer working conditions and patient outcomes, with 89 percent of 800 voting in favor.
When negotiations resumed on February 11, management left the table after five minutes. Since that time, the nurses have been left in limbo. There has been no indication that the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA) is preparing to call a strike. The MNA would be contractually required to issue a 10-day strike notice to the hospital. ....
