Day one of three-day strike by ULP at Howard Brown Health clinic at 4025 N. Sheridan Road in Chicago after 60 workers are laid off in cost-cutting measures or union busting? The clinic specializes in treating LGBTQ patients throughout the city. Sarah Hurd, an organizer with the Illinois Nurses Association told the Chicago Tribune that the reductions mean an end to the center’s queer family planning program and dramatic cuts to a team that helps survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault through the legal and health care systems.
