A strike by workers at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City has ended after 11 days, when union members approved a new four-year contract Friday with management.
With 64 percent voting yes, union members approved a tentative agreement reached the day before with hospital owner Dignity Health, according to a news release from the union: Council 57 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.The union's news release did not include details of the new contract, but reported that"The newly ratified contract includes big wins that improve working conditions, wages and patient care.
One week later, Dignity officials threatened to cut off workers' health benefits, saying in an email statement that the hospital system's health plan requires employees to work a full schedule and confirmed those on strike would lose access to the benefit plan: "Employees who do not meet the benefits plan program requirements are removed from benefits plans at the beginning of each month. In August, this will include employees who stopped work in conjunction with AFSCME's indefinite strike."
Dignity Health officials also said in the email that employees would have their health care restored once they resume work. The union said the move was unnecessary and was designed to break the strike. In Monday's news release from the union, Jackie Garcia, a surgical technician at Sequoia Hospital, called the new contract a win for current and future patients and staff.First published on August 2, 2022 / 10:39 AMThanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
