Healthcare Workers Hold Historic Rally in Albany

Healthcare workers who are members of 1199 SEIU filled the 17,000-seat MVP arena in downtown Albany this week for one of the largest rallies in the state in decades.

The caregivers, still reeling from three years of the pandemic, are calling on the governor and legislative leaders to invest $2.5 billion in healthcare in the state budget.

On the latest Union Strong podcast, we take you inside the arena and hear from a registered nurse who talks about the dire state of our healthcare system.
