It’s in our hands to champion a contract that guarantees living wages for all, prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of all residents and frontline workers, and restores public services to the highest levels.
WE DID IT: Workplace Violence Standard Adopted!
On October 20, the Cal/OSHA Standard Board unanimously voted to adopt the first workplace violence prevention standard for healthcare workers in California! Our hope is that this Standard will be used as a template at the national level. All of us are passionate about the work we do and the care we provide to patients, clients, and their families — but workplace safety is crucial, especially given our field of work.
