Registered Nurses at Garfield Medical Center will hold a 10-day strike from August 18 - August 27, 2023.

The Nurses face chronic unsafe staffing due to high turnover that has reached crisis proportions. In addition to turnover, nurses point to substandard equipment and inadequate workplace violence policies as factors contributing to decreased morale. Nurses also say the hospital is unprepared for future public health crises. Nurses have repeatedly raised their concerns throughout contract negotiations, which began in January. Garfield Medical Center is owned by AHMC Healthcare, Inc., which owns nine California healthcare facilities, five of which are in the Los Angeles area.
