It can be tough to take the first step to joining a union…
You may be struggling with an employer who doesn’t value or respect you but are uncertain how a union can improve things. You may be having a hard time providing for your family but don’t see a pathway to do better. You may worry about how your employer will respond if you and your coworkers try to unionize.
Just remember that millions of workers all across the country have felt the same — and then have gone on to join a union and win major improvements to their pay, benefits, working conditions, and quality of life.
We’re here to share how healthcare workers benefit from uniting in SEIU-UHW and — if you’re interested — show you how to go about joining our union. Let’s get started . . .

Who is SEIU-UHW?
SEIU-UHW is a union of more than 100,000 healthcare workers — including Kaiser workers who have the strongest contract in the healthcare industry. SEIU-UHW members across California have won major guarantees in our union contracts, including:
- Top-tier wages and raises
- Fully employer-paid family healthcare coverage
- Safe staffing levels
- Employer-funded retirement benefits
- Strong job security protections
- A real voice in patient care
SEIU-UHW members won the $25/hour minimum wage for all healthcare workers across California — including hospital, community clinic, and dialysis workers. We’ve also taken the lead in forcing employers to address the healthcare staffing crisis.

100,000+ Union Members and GROWING!
[Have adjacent to this section a graphic about these victories?]
In recent years, our union has seen a massive increase in membership. Why? Because healthcare workers across the state are fed up with being underpaid, understaffed, and disrespected. Since the pandemic, thousands of caregivers have voted to join SEIU-UHW, including:
- 5,000 hospital workers at Sharp HealthCare in San Diego
- Nearly 1,000 dialysis workers at dozens of clinics across California
- 650 Planned Parenthood workers across California
- Thousands [?] of clinic and hospital workers at Stanford Health Care, Sutter Health, Dignity Health, Kaiser Permanente, and John Muir Health. [I need to get the exact employers from Cass]
