We hear really outrageous unionbusting stories all the time – but we were really taken aback by this one – please read on and take action below! - Liz

Radika Munna didn’t have much to show for 10 years of work caring for elderly residents at Atria Senior Living. She had a basement apartment, earned about $300 a week, and had no health insurance. But after Radika tried to change her future by organizing to form a union, she finally did get something: a pink slip on Thanksgiving.

Workers at Atria barely make ends meet, yet the highly successful senior living chain is owned by a big Wall Street firm called Lazard that has the means to support them. It’s time to give these Wall Street execs an earful!

Tell the Wall Steet execs at Atria and Lazard to stop unionbusting and play fair.

For more than a year, Radika and her co-workers have tried to get a voice on the job. Atria employees deserve a living wage, affordable healthcare, and the training and support they need to do their jobs well. But instead of partnering with their staff to improve the quality of resident care, Atria’s Wall Street execs chose to fight.

According to government accusations, Atria supervisors have threatened, harassed, and intimidated pro-union workers. And now Atria has hired one of the top unionbusting law firms in the country, Jackson Lewis, to help them do all they can to avoid the workers’ union.

Atria’s employees feed, bathe and provide all kinds of care for thousands of seniors every day. We trust them to take care of and protect our loved ones, and yet these workers aren’t taken care of by Atria and their Wall Street execs.

Let’s fight back for Radika and her co-workers. Click here to email the Wall Street execs: http://action.americanrightsatwork.org/campaign/wall_street_atria_lazard?rk=Id1%5fG811LebCE
