SEIU 121RN

SEIU 121RN is Southern California's Union for RNs. We are approximately 8,000 Registered Nurses working in public and private acute care hospitals in Riverside, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. 

Setting New Standards

SEIU 121RN Members at CHW Hospitals Northridge and St Johns Win Wage Increases in Excess of 31% over the next 4 years

 

Working into the wee hours of the morning, the CHW bargaining team settled a ground-breaking contract on October 21, 2008 with: average increases of 31%, with some getting a maximum increase of 46% over four years; immediate 5.25% retroactive to May 1, 2008; and the addition of 2 more “longevity steps” to the wage scales for experienced nurses. The new wage scale, and nurse wages, grows 2 times per year in 2009 and 2010 and once in 2011 with guaranteed minimum increases of at least 4% per year and maximums of 10%.

121RN Nurses Shaping Public Policy

 

Over the next 260 days, SEIU members will be mobilizing in record numbers to send a message to President-elect Barack Obama and the new Congress that we too want change and that the time is now to enact real healthcare reform, an economic stimulus package that works for the middle class and legislation which makes it easier for workers to organize.
