Council 94 Takes the Fight to TV
May 11th, 2007

Rhode Island Council 94 has taken to the airwaves to preserve public services provided by its 10,000 members, some of whom work as dietary and housekeeping employees at a state hospital and a veterans’ home.

Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri’s (R) proposed 2008 budget would outsource those services at the Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston and the Rhode Island Veterans Home in Bristol.

Council 94 knows the nation’s veterans deserve better care than to receive services from a for-profit employer whose main concern is the bottom line. That’s why the council is fighting back with a media campaign. Watch their television ads below or at these links on YouTube: “Family” and “Taking On Privatization”.
