Dear UCSF Community,
Late last night, the University of California reached a systemwide tentative agreement with the California Nurses Association (CNA). As a result, CNA has withdrawn its sympathy strike notice and has directed all nurses scheduled to work on Monday and Tuesday, November 17 and 18, to report to work as scheduled.
At UCSF Health, we are committed to compensating our people competitively and supporting the environment they need to deliver exceptional care. This tentative agreement reflects our shared commitment to patient care and recognizes the excellence our nurses bring to UCSF Health every day.
With the withdrawal of the CNA strike notice, operations across UCSF Health will remain close to normal. Clinical teams are actively backfilling surgeries and procedures that were rescheduled and adding clinic appointments. Inpatient units are working to resume normal capacity, and the children’s hospitals have largely returned to normal operations, including reopening to unscheduled admissions and transfers. Some delays are still expected in radiology and lab, as well as enterprise-wide support services like transportation and custodial.
