This marks one of the largest number of workers at a California hospital to join the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West union in 10 years.
SAN DIEGO — Healthcare workers at Sharp Grossmont Hospital have voted to join the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West union, according to a press release from the union.
“This is a huge win for our patients and this community,” said Haba Serrano, who works in the hospital’s Emergency Department. “Workers here shouldn’t be struggling to provide housing and other basic necessities for our loved ones. Now that we’re union, we’ll have a strong voice to ensure safe staffing levels, the best possible care for our patients, and good jobs at Sharp Grossmont so we can recruit and hold onto top-tier staff.
The union says this is the fourth group from the San Diego area to join recently. They say workers at three Fresenius dialysis clinics in the area joined last month.
