Monterey County workers announce petition to join NUHW

More than 2,800 Monterey County employees have petitioned to join the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW). The group includes around 800 healthcare workers at Natividad Medical Center, as well as 911 dispatchers, child support workers, sanitation workers, and other public service employees who are currently represented by SEIU Local 521. A merger forced by Washington, D.C. union officials in 2007 dismantled their local union and replaced their union reps with a call center in Pasadena, and since then SEIU has not given them the support they need to protect quality public services in Monterey County. They're joining NUHW for a stronger voice.
