We are currently engaged in a bitter contract dispute with Liberty Health Care. This corporation owns Arm Acres and Conifer Park. These two Behavioral Health Care facilities deal with substance abuse and addiction.
CWA, Local 1101 has represented these two facilities since 1996 and we have successfully negotiated five contracts over the last fifteen years. Verizon and Liberty Health Care are two corporations which share one common goal: to destroy our members’ collective bargaining rights. Reduced Wages, diminished health care and elimination of pension benefits are the key sticking points in both negotiations. (See related letter) Our current struggle is about bargaining rights and maintaining our negotiated benefits.
This Saturday there will be two rallies to support our members at Arms Acres and Conifer Park but also to show the public our solidarity within CWA. We are asking all of CWA to support their members; we all must stand together against the corporate plan to destroy collective bargaining rights and our way of life.
