Standing With Veterans
On Friday, March 7 former Local 212 president Mike Rosen and current Local 212 president Lisa Conley stood alongside approximately 200 veterans, healthcare workers, and union members at a rally outside Milwaukee's Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. The gathering protested the recent termination of 10 local VA employees and the current administration's proposal to cut 80,000 jobs nationwide from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Speakers emphasized the detrimental impact these cuts could have on the quality of care for the 62,000 veterans served annually by the Milwaukee facility. The rally underscored the community's commitment to safeguarding essential services for veterans and supporting the dedicated staff who provide their care.
