7.2 Labor Relations: Consideration of Establishing a Healthcare Worker Minimum Wage Attachments

1. Staff Report Healthcare Worker Minimum Wage - 23-0265.pdf
2. Ordinance.pdf
Rady Children's Hospital
Rady Children’s Hospital urges the Chula Vista City Council to oppose item 7.2 and encourages councilmembers to instead support the statewide agreement on SB 525. While Rady Children’s is not physically in Chula Vista, we provide pediatric primary and specialty care services to the community.
The health care industry needs consistency, predictability and security to make the best financial decisions to maintain access to care and sustain jobs in our communities. Rady Children’s firmly supports paying our health care employees a fair living wage. In fact, in recognition of our staff’s heroic efforts during the pandemic, as well as the growing costs of living in San Diego County, in December 2020, we increased our wages to $20/hour for all of our staff across the organization. We were able to do this through a thoughtful process, balancing our fiscal viability and the needs of our employees.
Following a similar approach, SB 525 passed out of the California Legislature on September 14th and creates a $25/hour healthcare worker minimum wage through a step-wise approach. This historic agreement between SEIU California and the California Hospital Association is the best path forward. Unlike the ordinance under consideration today, SB 525 creates a sustainable pathway to raise healthcare worker minimum wage without jeopardizing access to care in Chula Vista.
Rady Children’s urges you to oppose this ordinance and encourage Governor Newsom to sign SB 525 into law.
Lindsey Wade
The Hospital Association of San Diego & Imperial Counties opposes item 7.2 and encourages councilmembers to instead support the statewide agreement.
On September 14, the California Legislature passed SB 525, creating a $25/hour healthcare worker minimum wage. This legislation was the result of a historic agreement between SEIU California, health care providers and the legislature. SEIU California and the California Hospital Association issued a joint media statement applauding passage of the legislation and urging Governor Newsom to sign it (link below).
SB 525 represents the best path forward for healthcare in the state of California. Unlike the draft ordinance under consideration today, SB 525 creates a sustainable pathway that will raise health care worker wages and protect access to care in Chula Vista.
On behalf of our hospital members across the region, we ask that you stand with healthcare providers in support of the statewide agreement.

As a public utility, we do not agree with this ordinance. Striking the one hour exemption for telecom utilities but allowing it to remain for gas and electric utilities is not treating public utility companies equally. It does not seem appropriate to attempt to regulate a public utility company in this manner. Lastly, we didn't receive notice of this change until September 14th which does afford us the time to properly respond to this specific change in the ordinance.
