So excited to make my NPR debut speaking with Juliana Kim about one of my favorite topics, unions! Last year we saw Black women and Latinas achieving higher rates of unionization, even though overall unionization rates were roughly flat. This is especially important because unions can help close the wage gap and advocate for access to benefits that are important to women.

Women predominately work in caring roles and this has caused a financial crisis and Skills Shortage in Pathology, due to Private Pathology employees not valuing their skilled workforce. Despite EBA Campaigns to increase wages, we continue to see The Private Pathology sector offer dramatically less pay to their employees than the Public Sector. This has caused a Staff and Skills Shortage causing a crisis in the Sector. Private Pathology have campaigned for an extra $160 Million in Government Funding, citing increased wages is causing operational problems, yet they must only be at CEO level. Support our call to support the People in Pathology, if we don't, we will have no experienced Healthcare workers left to collect the Pathology Samples. https://lnkd.in/efYf3EUg Mark Butler #peopleinpathologydeservebetter

#Unions # USA #Knowledgesharing Hello Fellow Americans, I’m Carine Azangue, and I’ve voluntarily undertaken the task of researching and presenting information on unions in the U.S. to help educate voters during the 2024 elections. Summary Unions have been pivotal in shaping labor rights and working conditions in the United States. Established by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, unions ensure workers' rights to organize, bargain collectively, and take collective action. Despite a decline in union membership to 11.2% of the workforce as of 2023, unions continue to offer significant benefits, including higher wages, better healthcare, job security, and improved working conditions. They also provide crucial support for marginalized groups, such as workers of color and women, in addressing workplace discrimination. However, unions face challenges such as potential workplace tension, difficulties in promoting or dismissing employees, and the risk of strikes that can disrupt business operations. While unions are legally protected and remain vital for advocating workers' rights, their evolving role and declining membership highlight the importance of making informed decisions in the 2024 elections. Please see the attached full report for more detailed information. Regards, Carine Azangue Your Trusted Advisor
