SEIU Rallies for Nursing Home Staff, Owner Reaches Deal
On February 5, 2026, SEIU Local 2015 organizers and supporters rallied outside Keystone Post-Acute nursing home in Fresno, pushing for a statewide contract for nursing home staff.

The rest receive a combination of family care and paid assistance, or exclusively paid formal care. Whether you're a paid home care provider, or rely on personal assistance to meet your daily needs, or a family member caring for a loved one, the nature of the working relationship...

That has translated into a commitment to fight for working people. “We don’t talk about one of the biggest crimes in our history,” he explained. “It’s a theft of wages. A theft of labor.

Toward a more diverse and inclusive Metro workforce
The Metro Nashville government is a major employer, with some 10,000 workers, and city leaders have ambitions to create diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces within each department. Yet a new report on the demographics and wages of city employees finds communities of color are still underrepresented within the Metro workforce, and that there’s a pay gap in which white, male leaders are typically paid more than people of color and women. These findings aren’t new. The Metro Human Relations Commission began putting out its “IncluCivics” reports in 2015, and has consistently found challenges in creating a workforce that reflect...

Fresno: Nursing home workers are paid with bounced checks from Sunnyside Convalescent Hospital
This month's strike was just one of many: healthcare workers from the Sunnyside Convalescent Hospital (SCH) in Fresno, CA, have been striking since September concerning the medical minimum wage disparities, the wage scale seniority discrepancies and the lack of quality care for the nursing home patients at the facility. In fact, the 99-bed facility stayed open throughout the strike. ONME News found that some SCH nursing home workers who were paid out from the facility, attempted to pay their bills, only to find out that the checks bounced.
