Local 142’s brave Union brothers and sisters in healthcare

ILWU Local 142 is proud to represent over 1,000 members statewide in the healthcare industry. In the last issue of the VOICE, we highlighted our grocery store workers on the frontlines at our union shops Foodland and Sack N Save. In this issue, we want to honor and acknowledge the tireless efforts of the men and women who are helping us keep safe and healthy in these uncertain and challenging times.

When it comes to operations as large-scale as hospitals, many departments are needed to help it function. Our healthcare units could not run smoothly without the work of our Union members behind the scenes in the medical field that perform the countless duties that healthcare requires in order to be effective.
