Scab Alert!
Picket Nursing Spectrum Job Fair
8 AM - 5 PM on Wednesday, May 3rd
Holiday Inn, Boxboro, Massachusetts
Take Exit 28 off I-495
Spectrum has been advertising for strikebreaking firms
- Tenet will have a booth at the Spectrum job fair.
We need picketers to join us at this fair to protest
Spectrum's support for scab nursing and strikebreakers.
---------------------------------------------
Whether you can make it to the picket line in Boxboro or not, call
800-726-8773 to tell this one scab recruiting agency what you think of their
efforts to degrade the nursing profession and jeopardize patient care.
They've advertised in this month's On Call magazine, published as a
supplement to the Boston Globe. Their ad promises "immediate, short-term
assignments" for up to $4,000 per week, plus an extra $200 sign-on bonus if
you're licensed in Massachusetts!
