This year, frontline healthcare workers at Alameda Health System have showcased the power that comes with standing united with your coworkers. Being members of a union gives workers a strong voice on the job to advocate for our patients, our communities, and our families.
But not every healthcare worker within Alameda Health System has the power of a union at their backs. The Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who are part of the East Bay Medical Group, which is owned by AHS, don't have a collective voice at work. These workers have formally requested to become members of our union, SEIU 1021, and be covered under the same contract as their colleagues.
These workers filed for recognition with the Public Employment Relations Board at the end of September and are currently waiting for Alameda Health Systems to respond. AHS has asked for an extension and we expect a response by Wednesday, November 25th.
