Stand with Anaheim RNs
July 2012
Kaiser management, without our input, decided to place all Anaheim Emergency Department RNs on uniform shifts from 8 to 8. For years, UNAC/UHCP members have worked in the Anaheim ED on varied shifts (e.g. some shifts are 3 to 3, 7 to 7, 10 to 10), just like many emergency rooms, to ensure sufficient coverage during peak periods.
This unilateral change that Kaiser plans to implement doesn't work for our patients and doesn't work for us. We are on the frontlines of patient care. To date, Kaiser has ignored our concerns. We are extremely disappointed Kaiser isn't working with us collaboratively. Please send a message to Kaiser on our behalf in support of the varied shifts that are critical in emergency care.
