Coastal Communities Hospital Workers Join United Healthcare Workers
Date:4/11/2008

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Over 300 healthcare workers at Coastal Communities Hospital voted by a supermajority to be represented by SEIU United Healthcare Workers - West (UHW) in a secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board on Friday.

The union election victory includes service, technical and professional workers at Coastal Communities Hospital, owned by Integrated Healthcare Holdings Incorporated.

"We voted for our union to gain a stronger voice on the job, because as frontline caregivers, we know the best way to improve medical care," said Respiratory Therapist, Monica Chin. "We're excited about our new opportunities to advocate for our patients and achieve better wages and benefits."

Today's election is the latest in a recent series of UHW organizing victories as UHW keeps its place as the fastest growing local union in SEIU.
