After Innercare workers faced unprecedented intimidation and harassment while forming their union with SEIU-UHW, the National Labor Relations Board has issued a far-reaching complaint holding Innercare CEO Yvonne Bell and management responsible for violating workers’ rights.
Innercare’s anti-union behavior and labor law violations, including the termination of 11 employees, resulted in more than 30 Unfair Labor Practice charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB only issues a complaint when it finds merit, underscoring how serious the violations are and the scope of remedies now being sought.
What’s in the proposed remedy
- Personal acknowledgment from CEO Yvonne Bell that Innercare broke the law
- Immediate recognition of SEIU-UHW as the union for Innercare workers (without rerunning an election)
- Requirement to enter good-faith bargaining
- Reinstatement of illegally terminated workers and full back pay
Hold Community Clinics Accountable: Pass AB 1113
Federal and state Medicaid cuts are squeezing clinics, forcing rushed visits and burned-out staff — while some CEOs like Innercare’s Yvonne Bell keep collecting massive paychecks and spending big on union-busting consultants. The state Assembly Bill AB 1113 puts the money back into care when we need it most, requiring clinics spend 90% of revenue for patient care and core mission services.
That means:
- More staffing to handle patient needs
- More time with each patient
- Safer workloads for clinic workers
- Funding focused on care, not CEO pay or unnecessary overhead
It’s time to hold clinics accountable, protect patient care, and ensure funding supports the staff and services our communities depend on — not bloated CEO pay. Tell your lawmaker: Yes on AB 1113!
