Community Health Workers at Watts Healthcare Corp. Vote to Join SEIU 721

The ballots have all been counted, and a group of 180 community health workers at Watts Healthcare Corp. in South Los Angeles recently voted overwhelmingly to join SEIU 721.


“I’m excited that we chose to join SEIU 721. This vote will make us stronger and get
us ready to embrace the future. Way to go WHCC!”

– Shelley Butler, LVN, OB-GYN Dept., Watts Healthcare Corp.
 
After months of calling on Watts Healthcare Corp. to negotiate a fair contract that included affordable health care for them and their families, Watts community health workers voted in September to approve a contract agreement that contained no cuts to health coverage.
 
Watts community health workers were previously members of SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West, and voted to transition to SEIU 721 because it is the leader in the public health industry in Southern California.
