Harbor UCLA Workers Rally to Support Student Workers

Dozens of SEIU 721 members at Harbor UCLA Medical Center rallied to help L.A. County student workers fight for their first contract on July 15.  SEIU members who participated represented many classifications from custodians, nursing attendants, clerks, registered nurses to respiratory therapists.  Workers also signed a petition urging County management to develop a fair process that will give student workers a fair chance at permanent County employment.
