Beverly RNs voted to ratify a new four-year contract. The vote successfully locked in significant wage increases, new float and specialty differentials, tuition reimbursement for the first time, substantially reduced insurance premiums, and many other improvements.
Bear Valley Registered Nurses ratified a new three-year contract in late December 2017 with huge improvements for members.
St. Francis Registered Nurses voted on December 29 to ratify a new four-year contract with major, double-digit percentage increases over the life of the contract.
Dozens of registered nurses employed by St. Francis Medical Center held a “roselight vigil” tonight for patient care at the hospital. They faced St. Francis Medical Center together and prayed by the light of plastic red roses which lit up the dusk.
On September 15, UNAC/UHCP delivered petitions with thousands of signatures from UNAC/UHCP RNs and other health care professionals, calling on Kaiser Permanente to respect scope of practice and maintain patient safety in telemetry. This comes in response to Kaiser's plan to eliminate telemetry units throughout the Southern California region.
With contract negotiations less than a year away, thousands of UNAC/UHCP members from hospitals across Southern California stickered up on July 20 to call for respect for our partnership.
