The service workers union has been negotiating a new contract since March 21. Nearly 2,000 certified nursing assistants, surgical technicians and more plan to strike at 5 a.m. Monday.
Cedars Sinai Medical Center and other California hospitals are among the highest priced for many common treatments. Citing "unfair labor practices as well as employee and patient safety concerns, short-staffing and low wages," members of the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West are planning to stage a weeklong strike starting at 5 a.m.
"Cedars-Sinai Medical Center nurses, physicians and researchers are not part of the union," Stewart said. "Our nurses and physicians will continue to provide the high level of patient care for which we are known." "Employees are also concerned about receiving basic protections to ensure patient and worker safety. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was recently issued a hospital safety grade of `D' by the independent consumer healthcare watchdog, the Leapfrog group. The `D' rating is a downgrade from Cedars' previous safety rating of `C,' which was issued in Spring 2021."
Meanwhile, Stewart, the hospital spokesperson, said, "At Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, we strive to maintain the highest standards of quality and service in the care we provide. Our employees are the key to this success, and Cedars-Sinai has always recognized this by providing market-leading pay and benefits."
