NNU Global Nurses Solidarity Assembly & UAW GM Strike Scab Threat

WorkWeek looks at the 2019 Global Nurses Solidarity Assembly held in San Francisco that brought together nurses from 21 countries.

The president of the National Nurses United Zenei T. Cortez R.N talks about the international conference and it's issues and goals. We also hear from nurses attending the conference which was held on September 13, 14 & 15th.

Next, WorkWeek hears about the national UAW GM strike with UAW Flint GM truck plant worker Shawn Crawford and retired Union local 909 leader Frank Hammer. Crawford reports that GM is recruiting scabs to run some assembly plants including Arlington, Texas UAW Local 276.
