On October 13 2015, the Watsonville City Council voted unanimously to pass CNA RNs’ “Safe Staffing & Patient Care Resolution.” This victory took several months of one-to-one meetings, 3 powerful Speak Outs, and some difficult groundwork by many of our leaders and activists, but the outcome is no less historic. Watsonville nurses have built an important alliance and were successful in educating elected officials that we all have a shared responsibility in safeguarding and ensuring quality healthcare for all residents.
