Caregivers gather outside Stanford hospital for a press conference after filing a request for an election with the National Labor Relations Board.

Assemblyman Ira Ruskin, D-Redwood City, speaks to the crowd.

Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-San Jose, acknowledges her support to workers. The Speaker Pro Tempore was later blocked by security from entering Stanford hospital because she wore a purple UHW t-shirt.

Lieber and caregivers are blocked from entering the hospital to deliver an “open letter” to administrators.

Seeking Justice at Stanford

Stanford and Lucile Packard workers gathered Thursday to announce they’ve filed an election request with the National Labor Relations Board. After a tense encounter with security, they also delivered to hospital administrators an “open letter” signed by 25 caregivers, urging Stanford to stay neutral and respect the wishes of the workers who have expressed their desire to join UHW.
