Staff at Hospice East Bay are protesting significant layoffs and cuts to benefits. The union is staging a seven-day strike to protect the quality of care and their working conditions. These layoffs have led to the discontinuation of programs like music therapy and children's grief support. Patients and their families worry about the impact on essential services. The union aims to negotiate a fair contract to ensure long-term sustainability and compassionate care.
