[WTTW] Howard Brown Workers Continue Push for Wage Increases, Affordable Health Insurance After 2-Day Strike

“I have never felt closer to my coworkers — I’m so proud of everyone,” they said.

Workers protested outside the LGBTQ+ health care organization’s recently opened Halsted clinic, 3501 N. Halsted St., Wednesday night for improved working conditions as they continue to bargain for their first contract.
