San Francisco. Thousands of San Francisco Bay area hospital workers walked off the job this morning to begin a two-day strike in protest of failed contract talks. The eight hospitals affected by the strike include five operated by Sutter Health and three by Catholic Healthcare West. Some CHW hospitals will cut their number of patients, said a company spokesperson. Sutter Health is not planning to limit any patient services, according to a spokesperson for Sutter. The striking union, Service Employees International Union Local 250, represents 3,500 technicians, licensed vocational nurses and other health care workers. The workers are disgruntled over staffing levels, which they say are too low. The workers will return to work Friday, but neither side knows when contract talks will resume. |
