Please take the time to watch this video and share it as well. The video is less than 4 minutes and it is simple and to the point. This is exactly the message we need to spread across America. Buy American made products! Thanks – Andy Z.
Pittsburghers are standing up to the city’s biggest bully: UPMC. Join us September 7th for a rally and march in Oakland to demand that UPMC act like a real charity.
Pittsburghers are demanding that UPMC executives STOP:
In recent weeks, UPMC has taken its attack on labor and our community to a new level – inviting the National Right to Work Committee into Pittsburgh to run expensive TV ads attacking unions! This has become a fight not just of UPMC workers, but of all of labor in our region.
Enough is enough. It’s time for our region’s largest “charity” to start acting like one!
