Local Healthcare Workers Demand New Contract Negotiation

For more than a week, workers at Kentmere Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing center, along with representatives from United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 27 (UFCW 27), have been walking a picket line outside the Lovering Avenue care home to raise awareness about their contract situation.

This ongoing demonstration is an informational picket, not a strike, and is an effort to get Kentmere management to the bargaining table. The workers are currently operating under a tentative extension of the previous contract. The current extension doesn’t expire unless either party cancels with appropriate notice.
