Several La Mesa council members criticized Sharp Grossmont after employees said patient safety was at risk
Hundreds of health care workers at East County’s only hospital will be able to vote early next month on whether to form a union, part of a wave of organizing around the country amid a never-ending pandemic, inflation and the threat of a recession.
Hospital officials defended their track record and denied allegations that they were distributing misinformation or discouraging voting. The National Labor Relations Board will oversee the election Feb. 1-3, and results could be known as soon as that Friday. A simple majority is needed to form a union.Cops escorting people experiencing a mental health crisis sometimes had to wait for long periods because there were no staff available, one said. In a later interview, another described patients having to sit in their own waste because there was not a certified nursing assistant who could quickly change or bathe them.
“Year after year, things have gotten harder to survive in this area,” said Fatima Ghoulam, a certified nursing assistant. “I know Sharp Grossmont could do better.”Sharp has long been “a great place to receive safe, high-quality health care services,” according to a statement sent by a spokesman. “Practitioners and employees join and stay with Sharp because of our competitive pay, excellent benefits and nurturing environment where all voices are heard.
La Mesa’s City Council also voted Tuesday on a resolution endorsing “free and fair union elections” at the hospital.
