We are healthcare workers and patients working to improve quality of care and working conditions in California’s community health clinics. Read more >>
CCWU: our movement
Community clinics are essential to healthcare justice and equity, and clinic workers are the people who make healthcare possible. When clinic executives fail to value our work and invest in workers, our families are left behind and the communities that rely on our clinics suffer.
We know that our clinic administrators can and must do better. That’s why we’re standing together in our union to:
Empower clinic workers to have a say in the decisions that impact patient care in addition to having the opportunity to bargain for decent pay, benefits, and improve working conditions.
Strengthen our clinics to improve access to quality care: Clinic workers can join forces with elected officials, community partners, and more than 700,000 fellow SEIU members in California to support laws that increase investment in our clinics and the clinic workforce.
Join CCWU
Community clinic workers at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in California are uniting in SEIU Community Clinic Workers United to fight for higher wages, better benefits, improved patient care and a voice at work! Tens of thousands of workers across the entire state are coming together in an unprecedented campaign to win real gains for our essential frontline service providers.
Our stories, our communities
Lakeisha Gant Medical Assistant, Families Together of Orange County
As a medical assistant, it has been rewarding to help people in need. I enjoy making a positive difference in people’s lives . I believe all healthcare workers deserve higher wages and better benefits. We work hard and try to be as professional as possible . We need people to support us in what we do.
Veronica Sandoval Medical Assistant, Community Medical Center (CMC)
I understand the importance of collective bargaining power in ensuring fair treatment and protections for clinic workers like myself. Unionizing is not just about securing our rights; it’s about safeguarding the quality of care we provide to our patients.
