Overview

Labor

CHA believes that patients, employees, hospitals/health systems and the public are best served when management and employees work directly with each other. If employees of an organization vote to be represented by a third party in a lawful election, it is the management's responsibility to work with the elected representative in accordance with applicable laws.

While federal law generally governs labor relations of private employers, state law may touch on some issues, such as property rights. For public employers, California state law takes precedence. Thus, it is important to keep abreast of developments at both state and federal levels to ensure compliance.

CDPH Extends Deadline for Health Care Professionals to Update Personal Information
New deadline is May 21

As previously reported, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has been ordered to release the names and personal addresses of all licensed certified nursing assistants, home health aides, hemodialysis technicians and nursing home administrators. The order resulted from a Public Records Act request filed by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW) in April 2017. After CDPH refused to provide the requested information, SEIU-UHW filed a writ, seeking an order compelling CDPH to release the information. In a March 2018 order, the Superior Court granted SEIU-UHW’s writ. 

CDPH was originally poised to release the licensee contact information on May 15, but the CDPH website currently indicates that it intends to release the information on May 22. CDPH invites impacted licensees to submit a change of address by May 21 if they do not wish their home address to be disclosed.
