This Week in Bargaining
We officially kicked off bargaining on Tuesday, April 22, and Wednesday, April 23, marking the beginning of our journey toward securing a strong contract for UNAC/UHCP members at AH Montebello campus. A special thank you to all the observers who joined us—your visible solidarity makes a powerful impact at the table.
We were honored to be joined on Tuesday by UNAC/UHCP President Charmaine Morales and Executive Vice President Peter Sidhu, who offered their support and reinforced the importance of this campaign.
Over the two-day session, we reached six Tentative Agreements (TAs). These agreements focused on updating existing contract language to reflect the transition to a new employer and the renaming of departments—necessary steps to ensure our contract reflects the current structure and reality at AH Montebello campus.
One of the major topics raised by management was their interest in establishing a float pool. While we understand the operational considerations, this proposal raises significant questions that require thorough evaluation by your bargaining team. Your input is essential in helping us assess how this would impact patient care, staffing, and work-life balance.

We urge all members to attend the next General Membership Meeting (GMM) on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at 8pm PST to share your thoughts and help shape our approach on this and other critical issues.
