Registered nurses at Sutter Davis Hospital in Davis, Calif., voted to ratify their first-ever collective bargaining agreement last night. Nurses say the new agreement is a hard-fought victory for their patients and themselves.

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.
