Thousands of employees at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital's East bay locations took to the picket lines Wednesday for a 24-hour strike over ongoing contract negotiations that have come to an impasse.
Union officials say the hospital has refused to protect jobs and medical services in the East Bay and that since it became affiliated with UCSF Health in 2014, it has closed the Children's Hospital Research Institute, moved the Sleep Lab and speech therapy services from Walnut Creek, moved most cardiac procedures to San Francisco, cut staffing in half for early intervention mental health services and failed to address staffing shortages.
The hospital has also agreed"to the extent we are able under California state law" to a union request for job security enhancements if it fully merges with UCSF, among other things.
