Healthcare workers set to begin 5-day strike at Providence St. Joseph in Burbank

In the latest strike to hit a Southland hospital in recent weeks, some 700 non-nursing healthcare workers at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank are set to begin a five-day, unfair-labor practice walkout Monday over what their union calls 'bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics meant to silence workers.

'This used to be a premier hospital, but we are struggling to give the quality care our patients deserve as we watch staff leave and positions go unfilled. We fight not just for ourselves but for our patients that depend on us.'Providence officials said Sunday they have offered the union 'what we believe is a very generous package with significant wage increases' -- including a 24% wage increase over a three-year contract and market wage adjustments for many jobs.
