Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Health Professionals and Allied Employees, representing more than 400 nurses and health care workers at Meadowlands, I am pleased to let you know that our Committee on Political Education (COPE) has recommended Mayor Michael Gonnelli’s candidates for election to Secaucus Council in 2010.
Throughout the last year, as Meadowlands Hospital was in the process of being sold to a for-profit company, our members, many of whom live in Secaucus, were able to count on the support and advocacy of our mayor and current town council members.
It is important to have elected officials who stand up for our community’s access to quality health care, and for the rights of our workforce. We were proud to have your support during this sale process, to ensure that the sale protected the future of our hospital, the services we provide, and the safety of our working conditions. We are proud to endorse and recommend his candidates to our members and the residents of Secaucus.
Ann Twomey, President
