MGH said that other CNA members in other hospitals pay for healthcare. In the case of Novato, that is something we mean to change. All the other hospitals that have employee contributions to healthcare are facilities outside of the immediate Bay Area, such as Sutter Solano or Sutter Delta. In any case, what happens depends in large part on our resolve. This is a legal tactic that workers use to show their employers that they are not happy with the employer s actions.
Workers agree to stop helping out the employer.
They stop working extra shifts, stop coming in early, stop staying late, stop working through their breaks, and stop volunteering to go the extra step for the employer. To-Rule has to be decided on and implemented by the affected employees. We need to be realistic about what people can do. We will decide after our meetings on Friday, December 17 th whether to start to work to rule to show MGH that we are serious about no take-aways. We think that it would be great if other unionized workers at MGH would decide to join us, because in this fight, we are fighting for all employees.
