Description
Health care workers will picket outside Sharp Chula Vista Hospital Wednesday, as the third week of protests seeking to address what they describe as safety concerns and chronic low wages driving a staffing crisis continues.
The workers, part of SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, previously had demonstrations at Sharp HealthCare headquarters and Sharp Grossmont Hospital and intend to picket at Sharp Metropolitan Medical Campus next week.
"My coworkers and I show our dedication to patients every day, but we aren't given the pay we need to care for our own families," said Joyce Malveaux, a patient access services representative at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center. "It's hard to attract and retain health care workers for such low wages in an expensive area like Chula Vista, so we're always rushing from patient to patient and stretched thin. Our patients and our co-workers deserve better."
