How can forming a healthcare union with SEIU-UHW improve staffing and patient care?
SEIU-UHW members have negotiated a variety of provisions that improve staffing and the quality of care, such as: • Joint decision-making through patient care committees charged with solving staffing problems and improving patient care policies. • Restrictions on mandatory overtime. • Recruitment and retention programs that focus on improving salaries, benefits, and working conditions in order to attract and retain staff. • Specific staffing and workload provisions, and other guidelines.
