Staff rejected proposed contract that administration said would have raised salaries 22 percent over three years
A strike may be brewing at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego after nurses rejected a three-year contract that administration says would have increased the average salary by about 22 percent over the next three years.
While contract negotiations can still continue, labor leadership says the 10-day strike notice required before health care workers may walk off their jobs is likely to arrive soon. The increases would come on the heels of the union’s previous three-year pact, which expired in June. That agreement increased base pay 11.5 percent from 2021 through 2023.
“The bulk of our membership is 21 percent to 28 percent below market value, and that’s just when we look at wages,” she said. “Once we add in things like health care, pensions and other benefits, we find ourselves even further behind.”
