We fought and we won a temporary suspension of patient transfers at Laguna Honda
The situation regarding Laguna Honda Hospital’s certification status with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been stressful for us all—patients, staff, and community members alike. After notice had been given that CMS was going to be terminating their Medicare and Medicaid funding, the hospital was required to begin transferring patients. If the hospital failed to begin those transfers right away, they were told their funding would be cut off immediately.
Exploratorium workers showcase their collective power in their fight for a new contract
Congratulations to Exploratorium members who recently ratified a new contract! Management opened negotiations by giving a presentation projecting a five to seven million dollar deficit, but members made it clear that they won’t let the boss balance the budget on their backs.
They instead got organized and brought the fight from the bargaining table to the shop floor to showcase their unity — and it paid off.

Tentative Agreement Highlights
TA ratification meetings and vote will take place first week of August
Dear SEIU SCOE classified professionals:
After months of challenging work and effort from your bargaining
team and many of your fellow union co-workers, we are proud to
announce that we have finalized the text of our tentative
agreement (TA) for members to consider. We strongly encourage
a YES vote from the membership.
Our Members Have Voted YES
To Ratify Our Tentative Agreement with the City!
The votes were 96.7% yes. City Council will now vote to accept the contract at two sessions, as is required by law. Chapter president Felipe Cuevas said, “This contract is a big win for our members, who have showed up and sacrificed for their community throughout the pandemic. To win this contract this early in the process is a testament to the hard work our members have done at the bargaining table, in their worksites, and in the community, helping elect pro-worker candidates to City Council.”
