Union news Login or register to post comments print Submitted by knash on Sun, 06/08/2008 - 10:59am. Health Care, Who Cares? With The Coalition against Privatization of GHI and HIP Protesters massed outside the Manhattan offices of GHI after a proposal to convert GHI and HIP to a for-profit status. This would adversely affect 4 million GHI & HIP subscribers state- wide, including 500,000 NYC public employees. It will mean higher premiums, denial of care and higher deductibles when non-profit safeguards are removed. Now protesters are urging unions and public officials to join their campaign against the conversion application currently under review by the State Superintendent of Insurance Eric Dinallo. ******************************************* Brick by Brick: Building Labour Solidarity with Palestine With Jenny Peto,Member Local 1998,United Steelworkers, Toronto The Labour Committee of the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid held a conference in Toronto for labour activists working in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
