AFSCME 57 On Strike

Hundreds of critical health care providers at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City are on strike.

The 300 nurses' assistants, aids, surgical techs, respiratory therapists, housekeepers, cooks and more at Sequoia Hospital are on strike because they care about the patients they serve. But they can't deliver the care our patients deserve because Dignity and President Bill Graham are unwilling to invest in recruiting and retaining the staff needed. These essential workers have been in contract negotiations for months but management's solution to the crisis is a 3% wage increase, unaffordable health insurance with endless hikes and a refusal to establish safe staffing ratios of 8 patients per CNA.

Tracey Browne, Lead Patient Coordinator – Rehab

It feels like I’m in a bad marriage right now. I am in my 22nd year with Sequoia Hospital and it is extremely disheartening that as we continue to stay loyal and go above and beyond to be a positive and valuable asset, I personally can’t help but feel like I’m being cheated on.

Vicki Harper, Housekeeper - Environmental Services

We need more people, and we need to make sure that we are all paid and compensated for the hard work that we do. We cannot get decent working people if we don’t have a decent wage. I’m tired of working overtime just so that I can make my rent, and make my bills.
