The countdown is on in Pennsylvania, where more than 1,500 nursing home employees at 21 facilities statewide have pledged to walk off the job on July 27 to protest staffing levels, wages and stalled contract talks.
All of the affected nursing homes have labor agreements that expired June 30, except one in Philadelphia, said Karen Applegate Gownley, spokeswoman for SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania.
The single-day job action would include about 300 workers in Western Pennsylvania, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Among the targeted facilities are Beaver Elder Care & Rehabilitation Center in Aliquippa, Uniontown Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center and Oil City Healthcare & Rehabilitation, operated by Guardian Healthcare. The company said it had developed a contingency plan to cover its facilities in case of the work stoppage.
