Sutter Hospital is based in San Francisco, CA, and all of the healthcare workers have been on strike since around Sept. 11. It seems that most of the healthcare workers are organized as SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West. This sort of press is never a good thing, and this is no exception: SEIU-UHCW is suing the California Pacific Medical Center and its corporate parent, Sutter Health, for using alleged “scab” workers from the company, Modern Industrial Services. Jesse Jackson walked the strike line on Oct. 5.
What I found interesting about this is SEIU-UHCW has a blog. Could this be a first? According to Annalee Newitz, it is the first blog written from a picket line. The blog is called sutterstrikers.blog.com.
Do you know of another blog like this? If your company faced a striker blog, would you counter it? If so, how?
