JwJ led the community labor campaign to hold Sutter Health’s California Pacific Medical Center accountable to community and worker needs. CPMC is the largest hospital corporation and the second largest private employer in San Francisco. Our coalition celebrated a major victory in July 2013 when the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved CPMC’s hospital development plan that includes rebuilding a more sustainable St. Luke’s Hospital and $80 million in community benefits covering healthcare, employment, affordable housing, and public transit. Additionally, CPMC also agreed to fair labor agreements with its employees represented by the California Nurses Association and the National Union of Healthcare Workers.
