Strike deadline nears for 3,400 Connecticut nursing home workers
Workers at 33 nursing homes in Connecticut could begin a strike on Friday, May 14, if their demands for better pay, benefits and staffing ratios are not met. More than 3,400 nurses, receptionists, dietary aides, housekeepers and laundry staff at these facilities have been working without a contract since March 15. Contracts at 18 other Connecticut nursing homes have expired as well, and workers at these sites could join the strike, should it occur.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Babies are very vulnerable to diseases in their first few months, thatâs why a doctor at the University of Virginia Medical Center is telling her patients to give your baby that extra layer of protection and get vaccinated while pregnant and breastfeed your baby after itâs born.
âI think of breastmilk as a personalized medicine that is not just nutrition for the baby, but also protection against infections, against some lifelong diseases,â Dr. Ann Kellams, the director of the UVA Breastfeeding Medicine Clinic, said. âIt also has benefits for the mother with decreased ovarian cancer and breast cancer rates for women who breastfeed.â
