Sutter Health and SEIU-UHW reached tentative agreements for new contracts on Saturday covering more than 4,400 employees at eight hospitals.

The parties have negotiated in good faith since July for an agreement that recognizes and rewards employees while supporting our ability to deliver safe, high-quality care.

We believe the tentative agreements meet those goals.

SEIU-UHW will soon hold a ratification vote for its membership.

We encourage all eligible employees to participate in the vote and support this fair contract offer.
