Remember Dave Regan’s
recent
election defeat at Mission Hospital
in Orange County, California?
That's where SEIU-UHW
lost an NLRB election for approximately 1,000 workers on January 29th despite having the
Boss's support through Regan's sweetheart deal with the California Hospital Association (CHA).
Well… Tasty learned that SEIU-UHW lost an NLRB election
at another hospital on the same exact day.
The second election was for a small “residual” unit of workers
at Southern California Hospital in
Culver City, a 420-bed hospital that used to be called Brotman Medical Center.
Many of the hospital's workers have been members of SEIU-UHW
for a long time. On January 29th, SEIU-UHW tried to unionize the hospital's stationary
engineers, biomedical engineers and others. It's unclear whether Regan
triggered this election under his backroom deal with the Hospital Association.
Whatever the case, the workers said, “No thanks.” Apparently,
they did their research on SEIU-UHW and voted to reject SEIU-UHW by a 3-to-1 margin.
Here's a copy of the ballot:
