With an overwhelming voter turnout, the majority of members in both SEIU 121RN and SEIU-UHW voted April 1-2 to authorize our Bargaining Team to call an Unfair Labor Practice strike if they determine one is necessary. Management has committed numerous unfair labor practices lately, including:

• Making employees remove Union stickers or pins.
• Surveillance of Union leaders and activists.
• Removing Union leaders and activists from areas of the hospital they had always been allowed in before.
• Keeping track of names and units of employees wearing Union stickers or pins.

If you have questions about bargaining issues or are having a workplace problem, please contact your Bargaining Team member, steward or Union Representative.
