With the vote, these Queen of the Valley workers will join more than 1,300 other Northern California St. Joseph Health caregivers as NUHW members, the union said.
NUHW said the Queen of the Valley workers organized “to advocate for improvements in staffing levels and quality of care and to achieve parity with their NUHW-represented counterparts at other St. Joseph hospitals in terms of wages, job security and workplace rights.”
