In celebration of CNA Appreciation Week - June 12 - June 18, 2025, our members at Local 8 - Emporia Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Emporia, VA, were treated to a luncheon and recognition ceremony.

CNA week is an annual observance dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the contributions of Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in healthcare who play a crucial role in providing direct patient care and support in various healthcare settings.

Our members took some time out of their busy day to relax, eat some good food, and enjoy being honored and celebrated for all of their hard work and dedication!

Starbucks workers across the country have been organizing in an effort to get a number of improvements, including higher pay, more hours, and better safety protections.  They want more say in what their working lives are like and they want to hold a company that talks progressive values accountable.  Starbucks calls its employees "partners" but most employees feel they are not treated that way.  Starbucks employees say they are seeing successful union votes at other locations and think they could improve conditions at their own stores by doing the same.  Workers United is leading the effort to organize these workers and over 570 stores have been unionized representing over 11,000 union workers!  For more information, please visit https://sbworkersunited.org.
