“We must fix the low wages and poor working conditions in our clinics so we can hire the people we need to care for our patients. We’ve been dangerously understaffed for years, we struggle to make ends meet, and our patients don’t get the care they rely on to survive – that’s what we’re bargaining to fix!” Richard Guerrero, PCT III

In our last bargaining session, we made progress on our first union contract, securing two new tentative agreements to recognize and reward our years of service, while protecting us from management’s favoritism. 

Still, Fresenius refuses to accept reality and acknowledge the staffing crisis we face everyday in our clinics. To help them understand, we’re working on a mock-treatment demonstration so that Fresenius negotiators can get a real picture of what we face on the frontlines.

We currently have tentative agreements with management on the following items:

  • Seniority
  • Job Vacancy Postings
  • Grievance and Arbitration 
  • Bereavement, Jury Duty, Military Leave 
  • Equal Employment (Non-Discrimination) 
  • Probationary Period 
  • Discipline & Discharge

It’s clear we will have to take action for the contract we deserve. Join our next bargaining session with Fresenius! Text #FixDialysis to 323.246.9006.
