Union workers at Dignity Community Hospital of San Bernardino demanded better staffing and access to personal protective equipment, according to an article on the San Bernardino Sun website.

Demonstrations were held at more than 30 Dignity Health and Sutter Health facilities.

Workers picketed as part of a statewide effort at Dignity Health and Sutter Health facilities to demand more collaboration with management to improve safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One licensed clinical social worker at the hospital said that hospital management is not staffing enough workers to make sure all areas of the building are clean.
