Nurses at Riverside Community Hospital and West Hills Hospital have ratified their new union contracts! These agreements will create better workplaces for Nurss, and safer hospitals for all. These hard-fought wins would not have been possible without the tidal wave of union solidarity Nurses expressed during the #HCASoCalStrike.

Nurses at both hospitals voted in favor of the agreement, which includes:

• Paid, in-person workplace violence training
• Stricter requirements on hospital to avoid putting Nurses out of ratio
• Improved workload and staffing language
• Wage increases: cumulative, across-the-board of 16.5% over 3 years
• Introduction of new steps to the wage scale
• Protected health insurance costs, with no increase to members’ contributions
