Nearly 120 healthcare workers at Los Robles hospital in Thousand Oaks are joining a union in a drive some said drew pushback from the employer and was certified Thursday by the National Labor Relations Board.

Pharmacists, clinical laboratory scientists, social workers and other licensed healthcare professionals voted earlier this month to join the SEIU Local 121RN union that currently represents more than 700 registered nurses at Los Robles Health System.
