December 23, 2013

Sixty-five certified nursing assistants (CNAs) at Samaritan Summit Village Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living facility in Watertown, NY joined their LPN co-workers in 1199SEIU on December 10. The CNAs voted for dignity, respect and a voice in resident care.



"I believe our union will benefit all of us," said Denyall Ball, a CNA with Samaritan Summit Village. "Forming our union will raise the overall positivity of our workplace by helping us to make changes to benefit the employees as well as the residents."



An additional 100 workers within Samaritan Summit's service unit are working on joining 1199 in the New Year.
