Healthcare workers at Pottstown Memorial Medical Center (PMMC) have been trying to bargain a new contract for months. But Community Health Systems, the national for-profit company that owns their community hospital, has not been bargaining in good faith. Now, the workers at PMMC are preparing for a three day strike over unfair labor practices. They have also filed charges with the labor board to get Community Health Systems to stop violating federal labor law.

The Pottstown community is standing with workers. There was a community vigil in a Pottstown church recently, in support of the healthcare workers. In this piece, we hear the voices of PMMC workers and participants at the vigil. All of the workers in this piece are members of SEIU.
