Union VP blasts SVMH pensions as ‘outrageous’

The vice-president of the union representing about 750 Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital workers is blasting the hospital administration after the release of information showing two hospital executives received one-time supplemental pension payouts of over $1 million and three others received lesser amounts.
“It’s the same concerns we raised around Sam Downing’s (retired hospital CEO) pension,” said John Borsos, vice-president of the National Union of Healthcare Workers.
Downing retired from the hospital in April with almost $4 million in supplemental retirement benefits and a regular pension of $150,000 a year. That pension scheme was stopped by the hospital board in December.
