Workers at two nursing homes and a hospital in Hollister, California have voted to stay in the Service Employees International union and not join the break-off organization the National Union of Healthcare Workers. The victory in Hollister follows a vote last week the SEIU won a narrow victory against the NUHW to represent workers in Fresno, California. The NUHW said it plans to contest both votes on legal grounds. Meanwhile, the SEIU has accused the NUHW of unfair labor practices. The SEIU has asked federal officials to halt voting throughout the states.
