Registered nurses at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., will hold an informational picket on Tuesday, Dec. 2, to protest the administration’s refusal to address nurses’ concerns during recent contract negotiations.

As California struggles with record infections, hospitalizations and deaths, it’s hard to imagine that hospital industry executives, with the cooperation of state regulators, would come up with a plan to make conditions worse. Sadly, they have.
Nurses know that passing legislation to create CalCare is of life-and-death urgency and the most critical step towards guaranteeing health care for all Californians. That’s why we don’t support the approach proposed in SB 770, which would put the bureaucratic cart before the health care horse.
