launched a five-day strike Monday, Dec. 12, claiming they’re underpaid and understaffed to the point where patient care is being compromised.. They include nursing assistants, surgical technicians, pharmacists, dietitians, lab assistants, janitors, housekeeping workers, registration assistants and other staff.Armed with signs reading, “Respect Healthcare Heros,” the workers are spreading a message that has become increasingly common among Southern California’s healthcare employees.
The striking workers are asking for wages that keep pace with inflation and are in line with what employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills earn. Some employees at Cedars’ Marina del Rey facility make as little as $17 an hour, the union said. “I’m making $24 an hour now, but I’d like to see that raised to at least $25,” he said. “But even that wouldn’t do much anymore with inflation costs and gas prices being so high.”
“While we respect the right of our represented employees to participate in a strike, we strongly believe these kinds of activities distract from important work that can only be done through constructive discussions at the bargaining table,” Cedars said.
