For Immediate Release
Bakersfield, Calif – The following statement may be attributed to Alicia Aleman, SEIU Local 521 Regional Vice President and resident of Kern County:
“The FPPC did issue an initial rejection of our complaint based on certain technical issues. SEIU 521 will be appealing that initial rejection within 20 days as provided for in the applicable regulations. We expect that with additional information, the FPPC will reconsider its decision. The residents of Kern County need and deserve a public hospital where the top priority is providing quality care, rather than enriching C-suite executives. SEIU 521 will continue to advocate for these priorities wherever we can do so.”
