SEIU locals are kicking up their focus on nursing care facilities.
In Pennsylvania, SEIU Healthcare petitioned the governor and health department to update nursing home regulations in the state. Proposed changes include increased staffing to increase per patient care, increased management oversight, higher wages and benefits, required stockpile of PPE, and more onsite training opportunities.
In Oregon, workers at Rawlin Memory Care went on strike to force union recognition (SEIU 503) via card check. No formal vote has been held.
