Workers at a Southern California hospital have formally
requested an NLRB election so they can dump SEIU-UHW and join NUHW, according
to workers and NLRB records.
The request -- reportedly signed by 80% of the workers at 140-bed
Garden Grove Hospital & Medical Center -- comes after SEIU-UHW has been completely
“MIA” at the hospital, according to workers.
Workers say SEIU-UHW provides zero support to its members… and fails to enforce even basic workplace standards. And under Dave Regan's regime,
workers have had a wage freeze for more than 4 years.
Soon after workers submitted their recent request for an NLRB election, Regan instructed
the union's attorneys to stall the vote by filing bogus charges with the NLRB.
Regan's stalling strategy comes after two
earlier, but unsuccessful, attempts to prevent the workers from even filing their request with the
NLRB... which Tasty will describe in another post.
Readers may recall Garden Grove Hospital as the site where
SEIU-UHW staffer Liz Castillo became
a YouTube star (more than 85,000 views and counting) after she was captured on film in the
hospital's cafeteria while insulting workers and then physically attacking one
person.
