The SEIU stands to loose another 1,200 members if the workers of El Camino Hospital have their way. According to 25-year employee Robert DeSalvo, the only thing the union has been interested in during its 10-year tenure is collecting dues. “What am I getting for my money?” asked De Salvo. “I’m getting absolutely zero.” The union had earlier reached an impasse during bargaining, refusing the hospital’s last, best and final offer. The union is attempting to challenge the decertification on legal grounds by taking issue with some of the language in the petition. Paul Williams, an 8-year employee, is tired of the unions attempt to create a divisive, “us versus them” atmosphere at the hospital.
