Medical Evaluations Assistants at SFGH deliver over 100 petition signatures to DHR calling for fair pay and treatment amidst increasing workloads
At San Francisco General Hospital, Medical Evaluations Assistants (MEAs) in the Emergency Department (ED) have been performing out of class work for more than 20 years. In 2004, an arbitrator awarded these workers with pay 5% differential for this out of class work, saying that, “as a remedy, the ED MEAs are entitled to out-of-class pay, retroactive to June 11, 2001, with interest, until they are no longer required to perform a substantial portion of the duties of the Nursing Assistant classification, or until the parties mutually agree upon the duties and compensation of the ED MEAs.”

San Joaquin County member Amanda Ayers Reflects on Completing the Member Internship Program
“Participating in the Member Internship Program was a great
experience. I’ve been a member of SEIU 1021 for 6 years and I’ve
always had questions about our organization and how to get

representative, and I wasn’t too familiar with the nuts and bolts
of our Union.
