 Founded in 1986, Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) is the largest healthcare employer in California. In June 2004, it agreed to a four-year statewide agreement with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The contract covers 14,000 employees at 28 facilities in the state, and goes far beyond the bread-and-butter issues of workers. The contract includes measures designed to improve patient care, such as joint labor-management committees to solve staffing issues; a $4 million training fund; and wage and benefit increases to recruit, retain and develop a highly-skilled workforce. In addition, the company agreed to remain neutral during employee efforts to organize.
