UCI Health claims that these were “noncritical employees” but, we, the workers disagree. Patients need to know if their care will be compromised! Dozens of Teamsters Local 2010 members have been affected by these layoffs and reductions, including surgery administrators, perioperative care providers, and workers in UCI Health’s steam plant—who provide power, heat, and air conditioning for every hospital room and OR on UCI Health’s main campus. Does that work sound nonessential to you? UCI Health CEO Chad Lefteris makes $1.2 million a year. UCI Health spent $975 million on four hospital acquisitions in 2024. But when it comes to retaining the workers on whom patients rely every day, UCI Health says they don’t have the money. What’s the truth? Help us fight back against UCI Health’s mismanagement greed! Send a letter to UCI Health leadership calling for the reinstatement of laid off and reduced workers at our hospitals! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/uci-health-no-layoffs-for-essential-workers
