The students of Philadelphia Student Union have released a statment about this. You can read it on the PSU blog.
Its a problem which if you solve for people with HIV should mean solving for everyone else.
But why segregate the HIV/AIDS community. There are countless homeless people that are mentally and physically vulnerable in the city this holiday season and no one should be homeless for the holidays. EVERYONE DESERVES A HOME
did they get the audit of SEPTA? i remember that was one of the last sticking points.
The SEPTA strike has again brought out the stereotype of the greedy, unreasonable, unionized worker. It is easy to blame just the media for this biased coverage but that is just the tip of the iceberg. It is time that unions stopped fooling themselves about who their friends are. A far more dangerous stereotype for unions is to believe that the Democratic Party is pro-labor while the Republicans are not. The reality is that both parties are only concerned about votes. Politics is about public opinion. Union membership needs to stay politically independent and only support those politicians who have demonstrated their support and not just made promises. Perhaps the best thing unionized workers could do in Philadelphia is to show their political strength and change the stagnant political situation by making the city a real two party town. I am reminded of the wisdom of an uncle who had a very clear and simple principle to guide his vote: "Throw the bums out!”
Greetings!
I'm a librarian and an AFT Executive Board (Local 2364) member at The College of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State). Many of our members live in or near Philly.
I've just shared this excellent post on my Facebook page and on our campus-wide AFT listserv.
Thanks,
twe
I've heard lots of folks complaining about "greedy" SEPTA workers lately. It's disapointing to hear people putting the blame on TWU members, but it's hardly surprising, given the mainstream media's anti-union/anti-worker coverage. After several days of watching local tv news and reading local press
coverage of this strike, this video is the first time that I have seen
the faces of any SEPTA workers, or heard the voices of rank and file
TWU members.
I hope that people share this video with their networks of friends and family around the city. People need to understand the reality of this strike and what is at stake for working people.
There is a great video of TWU President Willie Brown explaining their position on this situation at It's Our Money. He says sometimes you have to make the unpopular decision to stand up for what is right. Check it out.
The forces that promote profit-at-any-price operate internationally. As medical industry giants expand across the globe, health workers in different nations find themselves facing similar conditions, sometimes even the same employer. To counter their divide-and-rule strategies, we must also organize globally.
International Health Workers for People Over Profit believes that health workers must have a central role in the planning and delivery of health and medical services.
We support each others’ efforts to achieve better working conditions for ourselves and better services for our patients. And we defend health workers who are targeted by management for their activism.
We welcome all who work in the mental and physical health industry, regardless of type or location of work, job description, employed and unemployed, students and retired, disabled, union and non-union.
We include ALL health workers so that we can learn to overcome the social, workplace and geographic divisions that make it harder to unite around common concerns.

As this great post points out, working conditions for nurses isn't just a labor issue, it's a safety issue and a health issue. How can patients get excellent care if their nurses are overworked and mistreated by management?
"The security of union membership means that nurses have the confidence
to speak out on behalf of their patients, and are therefore able to
provide better care."
The rights of nurses and other healthcare professionals should be important to everyone!
Good to see the work taking place in NYC to protect communitites.
Here's a shocker. McCain, who introduced the bill is the biggest beneficiary of Telco $

To Ron and the UTWA. This is an important victory for justice. And now the PPA must meet Ron and the TWA!!!
Today in court Ron was found not guilty on all charges. Yeah Ron and TWA!!!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that it looks like Ron's trial will now be starting Tuesday, not today.
This is a small group of well funded activists from various parts of the region
outside the Fishtown area. One leader of the group even purchased his home AFTER
the Sugarhouse site was identified for a casino license. The Fishtown community
clearly supports the construction of SugarHouse and I again call on CasinoFree
Philadelphia to release its list of donors so the public can see if their
salaries are being paid by Atlantic City casino interests who have lobbied for
years to defeat casino legislation in Pennsylvania. Transparency is so important
here just look at what happened with Citizen's Alliance.
Really like your view. Some real matter's are discuss in here. Thanks for sharing with us. The information which you have provided in here in utterly important.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that the Mashantucket Western Pequot Tribal
Nation, the owner of Foxwoods Casinos, is in the process of restructuring $1.45 billion in debt, and "may become the biggest tribal casino company to
default".
I got an email from an alumus (I am also a Temple grad) asking to sign a petition to demand that the state legislators
From Temple's petition page:
"The Commonwealth Appropriation for Temple is being threatened. Let your elected representatives know that you support Temple and its $175 million appropriation by signing the petition below. Even if you have already contacted your legislator, you can show your support by signing the petition.
Thank you for joining the fight to save the Commonwealth Appropriation for Temple's students! More information is available at Temple's Commonwealth Appropriation website. You can also follow us on Twitter."
Don't allow Temple to use your voice against access to healthcare
