CommonSpirit workers to picket at 4 California hospitals

Unionized healthcare workers from CommonSpirit Health plan to stage protests against outsourcing and short-staffing at four Dignity Health hospitals in California. The workers claim the company, of which Dignity Health is a part, is reducing staff via layoffs and outsourcing, with plans to move certain roles from California to Arizona. The union asserts this will worsen an ongoing staffing crisis and patient care delays.
