Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, offered his support to the caregivers in a July 21 letter sent to executives with Fresenius Medical Care and Satellite Healthcare.
“Across the industry, I understand that dialysis clinic workers continue to struggle with low wages, inadequate training and chronically low staffing levels,” he said. “These working conditions often lead to high turnover as workers leave the industry because of burnout or transfer to another healthcare sector where pay is higher.”
Garcia is urging companies across the industry to stand with their employees and avoid coercive behavior towards workers engaging in protected union activities. “It is my belief that this is best provided by skilled workers who enjoy good wages, benefits, and the protections afforded by a union of their choice,” he said.
Gonzalez said patient care suffers when caregivers are overworked. But his commitment to the job hasn’t dimmed.Protests, walkouts and strikes have erupted throughout Southern California’s healthcare community in recent months as employees call for increased staffing.
