Management has finally recognized our safety and health concerns and agreed to new rights that will allow us to hold them accountable in our first contract. Now we have to keep the pressure on to win on our other key priorities like industry leading wages and improved benefits. Marilou Reyes, RN

We haven’t stopped speaking out about the crisis in dialysis and Satellite executives are feeling the pressure at the bargaining table and from elected leaders across California.

Our work is paying off: in our last session, Satellite negotiators began to recognize our concerns by agreeing to protections that will allow us to file grievances over safety and health concerns.

We are making progress in negotiations to #FixDialysis, but we must keep the pressure on to win our first contract.

Bargaining Dates:

  • July 17 & 18
