Employees of the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium in Sitka have threatened to organize, following a recent rollback of their benefits.

Over 150 staff members – including doctors, nurses, and technicians – signed a letter on February 15 protesting unilateral changes to SEARHC’s paid leave policy. The conflict flared after the organization, which serves communities around Southeast Alaska, announced it was increasing base pay for employees earning less than $25 an hour.
