 "We must remain united with 6,000 RNs and 50,000 Los Angeles County employees in SEIU, a strong union with national political strength. It took this strength to win our pensions and wage increases and keep the county hospitals open. We can't risk losing any of the gains we've made."
- Lisa Batchelor, Nurse Practitioner, Sheriff's Department
