UNAC UHCP Downey

We are pleased to announce that Peter Sidhu, RN, has been elected as the new UNAC/UHCP treasurer. We must take strong, clear action when necessary, he says. ...I’ve spent half of my life fighting for this union and I plan on spending the next 20 years making sure that what we’ve fought for is protected. Peter has been a critical care nurse for almost 20 years and brings with him a breadth of union experience and knowledge. Before joining the staff at UNAC/UHCP, he served as a contract specialist and in two different affiliate officer positions with Kaiser Woodland Hills Registered Nurses Association (KWHRNA). Peter joined the staff of UNAC/UHCP in 2012, and has worked as a staff representative, bargaining team member and negotiations leader. He has also helped with organizing new workers. A natural negotiator, Peter led the bargaining team for the Specialty Care Nurses of Southern California (SCNSC) local contract, served on the bargaining team for St. Francis Registered Nurses Association (SFRNA), and worked as co-lead for the most recent round of Sharp Professional Nurses Network (SPNN) negotiations. With his energy and vision, he inspires members and non-members looking to join UNAC/UHCP. Notably, Peter has been successful at contract enforcement. He recently led a group of nurses in issuing a Level 4 corrective action against management, winning members at Woodland Hills a break relief program. As treasurer, Peter will use his skills, passion, creativity, and experience in negotiations and representation to move our union forward.
