Thousands Of Oakland Hospital Workers Strike

  • Thousands of employees began an open-ended strike early Wednesday to oppose a systemwide integration plan scheduled to start on July 6 that affects UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland.
  • The strike arose from concerns that integrating hospital staff into UCSF Health will force rehiring, cause loss of seniority, and reduce take-home pay amid longstanding integration issues.
  • Hospital services including emergency and operating rooms remain open while some clinics are closed or appointments rescheduled to telehealth during the ongoing labor actions.
  • Union leaders say members could lose around $10,000 in take-home pay because workers now pay nothing toward benefits but will contribute under UCSF employment, despite gaining a more valuable pension.
  • The strike and a pending court hearing later this month highlight unresolved tensions as employees transition to UC employment, raising concerns about staff retention and child patient care quality.
