02 May Cedars-Sinai Workers To Strike May 9th, 2022
Patient care at Cedars-Sinai may soon be disrupted for an indeterminate length of time. Cedars-Sinai workers are threatening to strike starting May 9th, 2022, if Cedars-Sinai fails to adequately address unfair-labor practices and patient safety concerns. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was recently issued a hospital safety grade of “D” by the independent consumer healthcare watchdog, the Leapfrog group, a downgrade from a “C” last year. And, a clinical partner at Cedars-Sinai is quoted as saying “Management doesn’t seem to take patient or worker safety seriously.”
