Another fun day on the picket line! [View all]

Seriously, it was fun. Someone brought a speaker and we danced and sang, loads of laughter. We waved and cheered at all of the honks, especially the big rigs. I still can't get over how much support we have in this community.

Tomorrow will be a big day. The union is bussing in members from our smaller satellite clinics to the three larger clinics, so there will be even more picketers.

I guess things aren't going so well inside the clinic. The patients are still being seen, although there are longer wait times for everything, as management and scabs muddle through. One of our informants told us that the wait for MRIs and CT scans is three hours past the appointment time. I hate to see that happen, but it is what it is.
