Why I am striking
Everyone in San Joaquin County needs to know why the county’s nurses are striking.
The county has $95.5 million in reserves yet the board of supervisors refuses to settle our contract. For nearly two years, county health administrators have failed to bargain in good faith and they have ignored our concerns about staffing, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe patient care. All of this hurts the quality of medical care that you and your loved ones can expect to receive in our county facilities!
