18 Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Pharmacists join NUHW
Joseph Zakar and Cara Pirozzoli, the newest members of NUHW
Yesterday, eighteen pharmacists at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital became the newest members of NUHW.
The formerly non-union caregivers have received no pay increase in three years and lost thousands of dollars each when senior administrators changed their pension plan. With the hospital’s future uncertain, the pharmacists, whose department has already experienced instability when its supervisors were subcontracted out, want to make sure that they have a voice in patient care decisions whoever the new owner of the hospital turns out to be.
NUHW is proud to welcome SVMH pharmacists to our union!
