Your medical nursing workers have a one -day strike

Home Health Care employees who were connected to the University of Rochester in Webster on Monday.

The organized workers, members of 1199seu, are employed in the home care of Ur Medicine and offer patients in seven states in seven states of domestic care.

Cindy Lonzetti is physiotherapy assistant who has been in the company for more than 30 years.

She said that one of her main problems is the necessary increase in productivity that shortens in good time that you can spend with your patients.

“We went from 25 people to, they came in and said we had to do 30, so we don't have so much time with our patients for quality care,” said Lonzetti.

There are also a variety of other problems, including changes in the services and the health costs of the employees.

The home nursing worker of the University of Rochester Medicine, John Nicholson, a 35-year-old physiotherapist, and 1199seiu organizer Kim Gibson, who organized a section from the UrmHC President and CEO GREG Hutton on Monday morning. The union voted for the one-day strike after the nursing staff with URMHC believed that various problems were not addressed by top management. UrmHC said it negotiated in good faith and set up many suggestions with the Union.

Cathy Ballmer also went into the line on Monday. She is a nurse in the program and said there are a number of questions for which the union is fighting.

“We are out here to a good employment contract with reduced productivity, better health insurance, better tuition fees, daycare centers and everything that every working individual deserves,” said Ballmer.

In an explanation of domestic care from her medicine, it states that the management of the organization has “negotiated in good faith” since May 2024 and has made preliminary agreements with the Union about many suggestions.

The home care of UR Medica said that emergency plans were available to ensure that all operations including patient care were continued without a disorder.
