<p> The CNA's of Orchard have collectively decided to start a petition. We feel that our the facility has not attempted to hear us out and come to an agreement or even bargain with us. This makes us feel as if the facility even acknowledges the hard work and effort we put in everyday.</p><p> All CNA's, other staff, residents and families of residents have agreed to sign this petition to help our voice be heard. We have decided the current pay for employees is unfair and due to the raise in minimum wage we deserve a little more. If the facility can bargain with us we would hope to get a $3 raise to all employees. We are willing to negotiate of course. The underappreciating has gone on long enough! Pizza every other week is not enough.</p><p> We are aware of annual pay raises but the facility has yet to pay some employees past due annual raises. Which proves that we aren't considered a big part of the team here at Orchard, when actually we are the heart of the facility. Everyday time, effort, and our sanity is devoted to what we do here. All we are hoping is that you consider what we are asking. As the people who sign can agree that this job doesn't look easy and they feel we deserve more that what we get.</p><p> If you do agree we feel as this can make a less stressful environment for all! I can gladly say I would be able to come to work and feel as I am recognized, appreciated and respected, if you can agree with us. This will also give us financial stability due to the rise in the cost of living. It is not cheap to live in California.</p><p> Anyone who supports us knows how hard it can be working here. But by supporting us we can see your appreciation. By signing we are sincerely grateful for your help. This can be the start to something great. All we want is to be heard and feel appreciated. Thank you for your time.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>The CNA's of Orchard Post Acute Care</p>
