GILROY – Scores of Saint Louise Regional Hospital workers are donning purple and gold pins atop their scrubs these days.
The pins, which read “July 1,” are not-so-subtle reminders that more than 160 hospital workers could be on strike sometime after that date, if their contracts are not changed in their favor.
Clerical staff, housekeepers, food service workers, nursing assistants and lab technicians have been working without contracts since theirs expired at the end of April.
They want to sign a four-year deal that would, among other things, promise them health benefits when they retire and set up a special fund workers could tap to further their medical education.
