We have an unacceptably high turnover of providers and nursing staff. GHC testified before the NLRB that it had a staggering 36% nursing turnover rate. 

Arbitrary discipline and retaliation against union workers has created a hostile work environment, and we are afraid that we will be next to lose our job.

Unfair wages discourage workers from staying. Too often, we are told that by those we are training that they make more than we do.

We’re healthcare workers who can’t afford to get sick. Our vacation banks are eaten up whenever we are sick. Those of us who are per diem nursing staff can lose our jobs if our kids get sick twice in the span of six months.

We spend our lunches, evenings, and weekends updating patient charts with no additional compensation. Most providers are burned out and if we opt for lower FTE our patient load remains the same – we end up doing the same work with less time and for less money. This is creating a patient care crisis.

We have no predictability or consistency in our schedules — we are frequently told, mid-drive to work, that we are expected to show up and work at a clinic across town. 

In short, healthcare workers at GHC are in crisis.

And GHC administrators – by attacking our labor rights and even those of U.S. workers more broadly in legal hearings, pumping out a daily barrage of untrue and/or misleading antiunion propaganda, and committing regular violations of labor law – have denied us a fair path to address these concerns.

In doing so they have made it increasingly challenging to provide quality patient care.
