(BCN)-Healthcare workers at UCSF Benioff Hospital in Auckland are planning to start an open strike on Wednesday in response to what their union calls an illegal plan to cancel the current contracts.
Officials of the National Union of Health Care, which represents nearly 1,300 workers, says that the UCSF Health “integration plan” will reach the abolition of the federation contracts and reduce wages at Auckland Hospital for Children and Clinics affiliated throughout the East Gulf.
“We cannot and will not stand idly while the UCSF bulldozers turn on the collective negotiation agreements that they negotiated in good faith,” wrote Keith Brown, the executive treasury of one of the treasurer in a letter to UCSF officials.
The UCSF health “will actually require the Auckland Children’s Hospital to finish employees at hospital and satellite clinics and reaffirm them as direct employees in UCSF.” These workers will lose money on the deal because they will have to push thousands of other health and retirement, according to the federation.
UCSF officials say this step supports their long -term growth plans and is compatible with employees under one system.
“The allegations that employees are expelled and renovated are simply incorrect. Each employee is appointed to a position in the appropriate unit in UCSF,” according to a statement sent via e -mail.
“Some of the salaries of the home may change because many employees do nothing towards health insurance or retirement,” said UCSF officials. “Under the University of California, they will contribute-just as their colleagues in the UCSF-and in return will be able to reach a more valuable pension and comprehensive and long-term benefits.”
The sit -in lines start at 7 am on Wednesday morning at the Children’s Hospital in Auckland on 52 Street in Auckland and the Children’s Hospital at Oakland outpatient clinics on Shadinds in Wallet Crick.
