On September 25 and 26, more than 500 dialysis caregivers at 21 clinics across the state made history with our first unfair labor practice strike against Fresenius and Satellite. We stood strong with our patients, and the media captured our stories and amplified our voices.
Over 100 Fresenius Acute workers at 10 San Diego area hospitals are going on strike next on October 2 and 3 with the same demand: respect our rights, prioritize caregivers and patients, and bargain with us in good faith so we can address the staffing crisis in your clinics!
