Statement from RUNAP President Carmen Camelio on the Killing of Minnesota Nurse Alex Pretti.
ALT Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital, a union member, and a fellow human being. He was murdered by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday while attempting to aid a woman who had been pushed to the ground. As nurses, we have a duty of care, and many of us carry that spirit outside of the hospital and into our communities. That is how Alex Pretti died, caring for those around him. Looking at my coworkers at RGH and my fellow members of RUNAP, I see people with the full range of American political beliefs. I can imagine many of them demonstrating or speaking out for any number of issues. I can see many of them reaching to help someone who had fallen. I would never want any of them to be treated the way Alex Pretti was. As a critical care nurse, I am proud to care for members of our community regardless of their immigration status. I join leaders of healthcare unions nationwide in calling on our elected officials to stop these violent raids, stop the killing of protesto

RUNAP (Rochester Union of Nurses and Allied Professionals) seeks an Administrative Assistant to be based in Rochester, NY. Details can be found at: unionjobs.com/listing.php?id… #1u #UnionStrong @RUNAPunion
As RGH closes beds and puts Emergency Department patients in the atrium, administration has cancelled a retention program after nurses tried to negotiate some of the harsher terms. Why won’t CEO Chip Davis put patients first? Rochester deserves better! Our president’s letter:
Some local hospitals may be limiting the number of beds available as they work to "reduce reliance on costly contracted agency nurses" and hire permanent staff.

“We marched on the boss because we believe that @UofR is not taking our negotiations serious enough,” said Tara Petersen, Physical Therapy Assistant. “We want more sessions with longer times so we can get our first contract settled,” said Petersen. #URMC #FairContractNow
