Bargaining Unit 17

Registered Nurses

Recent Updates from Unit 17:

“These are some recent wins we’ve had: successfully helping members fight for their bonuses, including a victory against DSH’s refusal to pay. We also completed three critical reports on mandatory overtime for the Dept. of State Hospitals, CDCR/CCHCS, and the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, strengthening our fight for fair working conditions.”

Who We are

Unit 17 includes registered nurses who work in California prisons, veteran’s homes, developmental centers, mental health hospitals, departments of healthcare services and public health, special schools and other departments that serve Californians.
