In the latest strike to hit a Southland hospital in recent weeks, some 700 non-nursing healthcare workers at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank are set to begin a five-day, unfair-labor practice walkout Monday over what their union calls “bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics meant to silence workers.”
The employees -- including lab technicians, phlebotomists, EMTs, patient transporters, EVS workers and others -- are set to hit the picket lines beginning at 6 a.m. Monday and continue their walkout until Friday, according to the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West union.Specific union concerns, according to an SEIU-UHW statement, include “longstanding issues of understaffing, worker turnover and patient care concerns.
“This used to be a premier hospital, but we are struggling to give the quality care our patients deserve as we watch staff leave and positions go unfilled. We fight not just for ourselves but for our patients that depend on us.” The Providence statement went on to say, ``The union has also accused hospital management of engaging in bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics, including silencing workers. Providence Saint Joseph is committed to respectful discourse and urges caregivers to report concerns in a variety of ways, including via an anonymous integrity hotline.”
