Health care workers will picket outside Sharp Chula Vista Hospital Wednesday, as the third week of protests seeking to address what they describe as safety concerns and chronic low wages driving a staffing crisis continues.
The workers, part of SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, previously had demonstrations at Sharp HealthCare headquarters and Sharp Grossmont Hospital and intend to picket at Sharp Metropolitan Medical Campus next week."My coworkers and I show our dedication to patients every day, but we aren't given the pay we need to care for our own families," said Joyce Malveaux, a patient access services representative at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center.
Cihomsky gives an example of an open radiologic technologist position at Sharp Grossmont Hospital listed on the hospital's careers website pays $39 an hour to $62 an hour, depending on experience. Pay ranges are shown for all the open positions. The picketing workers say the company is misrepresenting the situation in the hospital and has also levied claims Sharp is cracking down on their right to organize and retaliating against workers."Together, we've filed legal charges against Sharp because these conditions can't be ignored anymore," said David Robinson, a health care professional at Sharp Metropolitan Medical Campus."They have tried to silence us and retaliate against us, but it didn't stop us.
