*Summary:*          "Workers across the country have started “bargaining
for the common good” over the past decade. In Connecticut, care workers
negotiated higher Medicaid funding for nursing homes to secure their
communities’ right to age with dignity. In West Virginia, Los Angeles,
Chicago and Minneapolis, teachers went on strike for the right to a robust
public education. The St. Vincent nurses’ strike followed the template of a
common good strike in both its demands and tactics, with patient well-being
as its rallying cry and the broader Worcester community (“anyone who might
become a patient one day,” in the words of one nurse) as the key
beneficiary."
