Thousands participate in protest for a better contract at Bay Area hospitals.
Writer Striking members of the Health Care Workers Union, Service Employees International Union Local 250, held signs Thursday and marched along Hospital Drive in Vallejo outside Sutter Solano Medical Center. Hopefully next week we'll come back to the table. Each of the hospitals has five to six union members representing the remainder at the negotiations. About 75 SEIU Local 250 members have been chosen as negotiating representatives at the 10 Bay Area hospitals. Sanders said union representatives have asked for an 8 percent across the board raise at Sutter Solano to match the pay structure at other Bay Area hospitals.
