We need to stop bringing people in on short-term contracts that take our money home and spend it in their communities," said Heather Bollinger, a nurse at San Francisco General and president of the SEIU 1021 nurses' chapter. "It's time for the city of San Francisco to invest in the people who have proven that they will stay."
Patients wait over six hours to receive care, and nurses work 12 to 16-hour shifts, the unions said, with no time for meal or rest breaks. Over a 100 nurses, physical therapists, librarians and other city workers, many wearing purple shirts reading "Fix our city," gathered outside San Francisco General around noon.
