Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman joined striking Henry Ford Genysys Hospital workers on the picket line this morning.



The 750 nurses and case workers represented by Teamsters Local 332 were forced to strike in early September. They will remain on the picket line until they are offered a contract with higher wages and safer nurse-to-patient ratios.



“Henry Ford Genesys has hit a new low by forcing 750 Teamsters out on strike,” O’Brien said. “These nurses and caseworkers are asking for nothing more than respect and safe staffing. But hospital management has spent its time undermining them rather than negotiating a first contract. Our members will not let them get away with padding their pockets by punishing patients and abandoning this community. Henry Ford Teamsters will win, no matter how long it takes.”
