Bay Area nurses are preparing to hold a series of demonstrations this Thursday, January 13, at nine area hospitals to demand safer working conditions.
The union action, planned by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United and Caregiver Healthcare Employees Union, will also condemn the decision announced Saturday by the California Department of Public Health allowing asymptomatic workers who test positive for COVID-19 to return to work immediately without isolation or testing.
Actions are planned at different times in the following hospitals in the region:
- 6:30 am: University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, Parnassus Campus, San Francisco.
- 7:30 am: Marinhealth (formerly Marin General), Greenbrae;
