Our elected bargaining team is continuing to meet regularly with management. We have gotten some more wins at the table recently:
Break relief at John George
No more last-minute cancellations at San Leandro Hospital
Away from the bargaining table, we got our co-worker Ilona Clark restored to her job in the ICU, by fighting relentlessly through the arbitration process and proving that the discipline she had received for a verbal lapse in a moment of stress was unfair and unreasonable. HR Director Athena Buenconsejo has also announced that she will be leaving AHS. However, we need the Board of Trustees to understand that we are in the middle of a surge, and we need a contract now, so we can get back to work, helping heal the county’s sick and injured, in a working environment that is safe, healthy, and fair for all of us.
To show management that we are still united in our demands for safe staffing, a fair cost of living increase, and no increased healthcare costs, we need every member to wear their purple every Wednesday until we have a contract. Take a photo of yourself in your purple and tag @ahs_seiu_1021 on Instagram or Our Voice on Facebook, so we can boost your message!
