Fast for Our Future

Steelworkers lend Support for Fasting UPMC Workers

The cold and snow aren’t stopping the brave UPMC workers fasting this week to shine a light on the hunger and sacrifice they and their coworkers experience every day.

They might get tired and weak, their determination remains strong and their spirits were lifted by visits from adjunct professors at Duquesne University, students from the University of Pittsburgh and friends from Fight Back Pittsburgh.

The Reverend William Spencer of Braddock brought greetings and congratulations from Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network and helped fasters to meditate on the power of ordinary people.

“All the workers of UPMC and those that are fasting want thank the United Steelworkers for their support and everything they have done in solidarity,” said  SEIU Communications Specialist Maria Montano.
