Nursing Home Lays Off 38 Following Five-Day Strike
Thirty-eight members of the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West were laid off over the weekend after a five-day strike at Oakland-based Piedmont Gardens, an assisted living facility. The strike stemmed in part from disagreements over health care costs in contract negotiations.
