Hundreds of health care workers at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank walked off the job Monday morning, kicking off a five-day strike over what they call unfair labor practices.
The work stoppage applies to non-nursing health care workers such as EMTs, lab technicians and other employees. The roughly 700 employees are represented by the SEIU United Healthcare Workers West union.
"We've been having these issues for a long time, even during COVID" one worker told Eyewitness News. "We've always been short-staffed, and people are tired and overworked. The management, after repeatedly going to them and telling them our issues, they never listen." In a statement, St. Joseph said the hospital is well prepared for the strike and it should not impact their operations. They have contracted with replacement workers to fill in for striking union members.
