We just wrapped up an amazing six days of ULP strikes demanding dialysis executives stop their unfair labor practices.
We had strikes at 37 clinics across California, and a majority of workers showed up on the strike lines! We should all be proud of our display of unity and strength.
And we didn’t stand alone. We were joined by patients, elected officials, supporting organizations, and UHW members from Kaiser and other hospitals. We got news coverage across the state, and we were all over social media.
We truly made history this week. But our fight isn’t over! We will not tolerate dialysis executives violating our rights. Stay tuned for updates.
