Local workers who hit the picket line for the two-day strike told ABC 10News the unfair working conditions have been going on for some time now.
SAN DIEGO -- Hundreds of health care workers from nearly two dozen clinics across California, including in San Diego County, went on strike Monday over what they say are unfair labor practices, staffing shortages, and the violation of workers’ rights under federal labor law.
“This goes back way before COVID,” said worker Richard Guerrero. “We normally work with a 1-to-4 patient ratio but now it's been about 8 [patients] to 1 [worker].” The technician also said keeping employees around have been difficult. This makes it harder for the current employees to care for patients.
The union that represents the workers are currently in negotiations with Fresenius Medical Care. Workers said they are looking for increased staffing and better wages.
