Healthcare workers at CMC seek to form a union in order to better advocate for improved patient care at their hospital. Caregivers feel they can achieve better care for patients by joining a union with SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West. Through the union, workers will be able to partner with hospital management and have a voice on the job, in addition to seeking fair wages and benefits to help maintain a skilled workforce.
"We need a voice in making the right decisions for patients in our facilities," said Helen Villa, a Licensed Vocational Nurse in the Emergency Room at Community Regional Medical Center. "We're ready to work in partnership with management as advocates for patient care and quality jobs."
MEDIA AVAILABILITY:
Helen Villa is available upon request from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday, March 10. Please call Kevin Hall at (559) 244-1842 to schedule an interview.
The 150,000-member SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West is the largest hospital and healthcare union in the western United States and represents every type of healthcare worker, including nurses, professional, technical and service classifications. Our mission is to achieve high-quality healthcare for all.
