Help Serenity Hospice workers win their union
Help Serenity Hospice workers win their union
SEIU503; 4/18/24
Workers at Serenity Hospice have been organizing for pay equity, adequate raises, affordable health care, regular hours, PTO, and the ability to manage trauma and compassion fatigue. The workers unanimously decided to form a union, and asked management to voluntarily recognize them. Serenity’s parent company (Addus Healthcare) already has SEIU-represented employees at its home health agency in Eugene. Instead, Addus hired one of the most expensive union-busing law firms in the country, and has been paying them hundreds of dollars per hour to spread anti-union propaganda. Workers are sticking together and staying strong, and plan to vote YES in their union election next week.
Editor's Note: Unions and strikes among healthcare professionals--for these same cited reasons--continue to be a growing trend, nationwide.
