Labor Negotiation News

Despite months of negotiations, on Wednesday, Nov. 20 the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW)—which represents service and technical employees—held a one-day strike at St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka and Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna.

During this time, our patients continued to receive the quality care they’ve come to expect from St. Joseph and Redwood Memorial Hospitals. We have hired highly qualified, experienced replacement workers who will ensure our patients continue to receive excellent care.

Be advised if you visit either hospital for care, some non-emergent services may be limited during the strike. Our Emergency Departments will be fully staffed and ready for any emergency needs.

We value our caregivers and are committed to providing a strong pay and benefits package to support them and their families. You can view our most recent bargaining update here.
