Our next contract determines wages, benefits and conditions for the term of the contract. Because Hollywood Presbyterian management is trying to take away our free healthplan and raise premium costs for everyone, our Bargaining Team has called for a strike authorization vote. Hollywood Presbyterian already offers few benefits to keep experienced nurses on staff; we must increase pay and benefits, and improve working conditions for dedicated current employees and to attract and retain experienced nurses.

Voting yes does not guarantee a strike; it simply gives our Bargaining Team authorization to call a strike if one becomes absolutely necessary. A strike is a last resort and will only be called if all other means have been exhausted.

Tuesday & Wednesday, April 1 - 2, 2014

6 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days

Vote located at the 121RN & UHW RVs on Vermont Street.

Our HPMC Bargaining Team Recommends a YES Vote!
