SEIU does the Healthcare Hustle!
Thursday, June 23, 2011
Nearly 300 SEIU members put on their dancing shoes and did the Healthcare hustle at Yonge-Dundas Square on Friday June 24 to raise awareness about healthcare issues in the upcoming provincial election. See the
video
and the
photos
. The group even got the media's attention, with Citytv's Breakfast Television and the
Toronto Star
covering the event.
Dressed up in purple scrubs, 300 members danced in unison together to fight for a stronger healthcare system.
Our President, Sharleen Stewart, said SEIU members do the hustle all day long at work, so that's why they're doing it in the square this morning. "Our candidate for this election is healthcare," she said. She said this demonstration is about bringing awareness to the public about the importance of healthcare in Ontario.
