Workers from several Los Angeles County nursing homes kicked off the first of a series of protests claiming severe understaffing and high turnover are undermining patient care. Employees at the facilities — owned by Brius Healthcare and operated by Rockport Healthcare Services — are represented by SEIU Local 2015. They plan to hold eight pickets over the course of three weeks in July, including Thursday’s protest at Centinela Skilled Nursing & Wellness Centre West in Inglewood.
