WORCESTER, Mass., April 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ This Sunday, April 11, the St. Vincent Hospital nurses will begin their sixth week on strike as part of their ongoing struggle to convince Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare to address a growing patient safety crisis at the Worcester-based hospital.
As the strike continues, St. Vincent s for-profit owner is projected to spend more than $33.5 million to prolong the strike, inclusive of costs for hundreds of replacement nurses paid twice as much as regular staff, more than $30,000 a day for police details, along with other costs associated with avoiding meeting the nurses demands for better staffing and other patient safety measures.

FRAMINGHAM, MA – Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (MA-05) announced today that the American Rescue Plan includes $16 million for the Framingham Public School district, a portion of the over $3.1 billion in emergency education funding to support Massachusetts schools and families. When President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law last month, we knew that help was on the way. Today, I m happy to announce just how substantial that aid will be for Framingham schools, families, and child care providers, said Assistant Speaker Clark. With this funding, Framingham schools, and schools across the district, will be able to open their doors and provide essential services to keep the entire school community safe. This pandemic and its physical, emotional, and economic fallout have made life increasingly hard for students and families, but this funding provides vital relief to get the Commonwealth and country back on its feet.

Despite a record turnout and the November 2020 election being deemed the safest election in American history, the January 6th insurrection was fueled by a lie about the security of our election system and subsequently, Republican leaders have filed over 100 voter suppression bills in 28 states.
