“The union blocked lifesaving vaccines from being delivered to our hospital — vaccines that save the lives of families like yours and mine. And today, the union shut down streets that patients use to get critical medical care, the same streets that students use to get to class. Why is the union punishing students who are just trying to learn — and have paid tuition fees to do so — and right before finals, when stress levels are at an all-time high? These are real lives and real students, not targets in a union playbook.”
