Registered nurses working at University of California medical centers will hold rallies across the state on Tuesday, June 10 to mark the start of their contract negotiations. Nurses’ primary priority, across medical centers statewide, is reversing and halting the UC management’s growing practice of short-staffing its facilities, cutting back on resources, and forcing their hardworking, overstretched providers to do more work with less support.
