N.J. protests: 'No pension? No peace!'

The health-care crisis continues to deepen at an alarming rate. In New Jersey
in late February, District 1199J, National Union of Hospital and Health Care
Employees, and AFSCME organized picket lines to demand a living wage and benefit
package for health-care workers. These workers face increasing layoffs and
cutbacks, with closings threatened at hospitals and other vital health-care
centers. Pictured here is a Feb. 22 District 1199J protest outside St. Mary's
Hospital in Hoboken, N.J.
