Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital is part of a case the U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review concerning California’s proposal to reduce Medi-Cal reimbursements by hundreds of millions of dollars. Memorial would lose more more than $3 million a year if the reimbursement cut was implemented.
The National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C., has certified the National Union of Healthcare Workers as the bargaining representative for some 700 technical, service and maintenance workers at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, according to the hospital.
After reaching a tentative labor agreement, the nurses union at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital announced Friday that it will not be conducting a two-day strike that had been slated to start on Monday.
The notice, submitted to hospital administration Thursday afternoon, comes just one week before the contract between the Staff Nurses Association and Memorial Hospital expires on Sept. 30.
