Bargaining Update February 7: "We're NOT going to let management tear up our contract!"

This week, the General Unit Bargaining Team met with AHS management on Wednesday and Thursday. Management made proposals to gut our contract, taking away wins it took us years to achieve.

This image is just one example of the contract-gutting proposals management made this week.

This is what AHS’ head of labor relations wants our contract to look like: crossouts and cutbacks, instead of worker protections and fair standards. Ruby Sloan, a Mental Health Specialist II at John George and a 30-year member, says “We spent years building our contract and we’re proud of it. We’re not going to let them tear it apart.”

Management also wants to:

  • Make members pay more for health care

  • Base daily cancellations on budgets, not patient care

  • Cancel members before travelers

  • Make it easier for us to get fired

  • Let managers change our schedules

  • Cut holiday pay for part-time workers

  • Eliminate VTO and voluntary reduction of hours

We need to show management that we are united. Purple up every Wednesday and come to San Leandro Hospital on Thursday to show your solidarity.

Show up on Thursday to show our solidarity!
