LANSING, Mich. (May 28, 2025) \u2014 After joining Ciena nursing home workers last week in their strike for a fair contract and to gain the respect they deserve, Sen.\u202fStephanie Chang<\/b>\u202f (D-Detroit) released the following statement in solidarity:<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, I was proud to join Ciena workers on the picket line. Economic justice and fairness are at the core of the Ciena workers\u2019 fight. No one doing essential, hands-on care work should have to struggle to make ends meet \u2014 especially not after showing up day after day through a global pandemic. These hardworking caregivers deserve a fair contract, not intimidation and retaliation. I continue to stand in solidarity with them as they demand the wages, protections, and dignity that every worker should be guaranteed in our state.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
