PICKET SIGNS ARE DONE: NO SUNDAY WORK NECESSARY

Thanks to all of the amazing nurses, spouses, friends, children and pets who showed up at MNA offices over the past two days to help make picket signs. Because of the great turnout, we are done with our picket signs, so will not be working on them on Sunday.


STAY TUNED!
