On March 28 we’re going to Sacramento to extend whistleblower protections to nurses. We refuse to allow anyone to be put in the position of having to choose between the safety of their patients and their job!
We need to extend existing healthcare worker whistleblower protections to nurses who are asked to violate nurse staffing ratio laws by amending Section 1278.5 of the Health and Safety Code.
Click here to read the bill to prohibit an employer from retaliating against a nurse who refuses to put patients or their RN license at risk by agreeing to an assignment that violates staffing ratios.
Email MarisaSzeps@seiu721.org today if you are willing to share your story about being asked to violate nurse staffing ratio laws, in person, or in writing.
For more information, call (213) 300-5304 right away!
In Unity,
Your SEIU Local 721 Action Team
