""Going into this round of bargaining, it was our priority to ensure UC nurses were given the resources to care for our patients and ourselves after years of short-staffing and under-resourcing," she said. "We achieved our goal and now we stand together with our AFSCME colleagues, whose essential work demands the same resources guaranteed by a fair contract.""

""while not on work time.""
A tentative four-year contract between the University of California and the California Nurses Association covers about 25,000 registered nurses across 19 UC facilities and ends a planned strike. The agreement includes pay and benefits provisions and secures patient protections and resources aimed at addressing years of short-staffing and under-resourcing. Nurses will vote to approve the contract this week. Thousands of nurses plan to join AFSCME 3299 picket lines while off duty in solidarity with patient care technical workers, custodians, food service employees, security staff, secretaries and other UC hospital and campus workers.
