In Escondido caregivers and nurses are calling on Palomar Health to bargain in good faith, after more than a year of talks still has not led to a new contract.
In the North County health care workers can’t reach a deal with one of the region's largest providers. KPBS Health Reporter Matt Hoffman explains.
Local chapters of the California Nurses Association and the Caregivers and Healthcare Employees Union say management has been intimidating employees. "That’s fictitious, erroneous, shameful and disappointing," Washburn said."We know that this was just a tactic for media attention." The contract for caregivers and nurses expired last month. Palomar said they recently made their last, best and final offer, which included 4% raises over the next three years. It was recently rejected by union leadership.
The unions said it is not all about money and there are also disagreements about patient care and contracting out certain services.
