A FAIR UNION CONTRACT MEANS ...

We have given the Hospital Authority every opportunity to put a fair union contract on the table and they have offered only pennies in raises – while outright rejecting proposals that would mean safer patient care and fairer treatment for all.

At our next bargaining session, your union bargaining team will be proposing a comprehensive package. Hospital Authority will say that is what they have been waiting for, but we are sure their responses to fair wages will be excuses and apologies.

If you agree that Kern Medical deserves a stronger union contract with the below proposals, add your name to this petition and join your coworkers in sending a strong message to Hospital Authority!

• Wage Parity with Mercy Hospital (On average KMC starting wages need to increase by 24% to match Mercy)

• Automatic Step Increases (No more rigged "EPR")

• Every long-term "Extra-Help" worker who wants a permanent job should be offered one

• End to "Exclusions" from the Grievance Procedure

• NO Subcontracting 

• The Right to USE our Sick Time!
