Unionized nursing homes in deep-blue state trail the pack as analysis reveals ratings gap
A report indicates that unionized nursing homes in California have lower average federal quality ratings compared to non-unionized facilities. The analysis found that union presence is associated with a decrease in ratings by nearly 10 percent. This discrepancy raises questions about the role of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in the state's long-term care sector.
- ▪California nursing homes with unionized staff received lower average federal quality ratings than those without unions.
- ▪The analysis showed that unionized facilities averaged 3.02 stars, while non-union facilities averaged 3.17 stars.
- ▪The report suggests that unionization corresponds to a rating decrease of roughly 0.3 stars, even after controlling for local income levels.
