unsafe environment for both customers and employees. yesterday was the last and in and out burger was made in the city of oakland and we heard from one of its former employees who says they feel like it's just another big hit for the town. >> is a great play here. i mean, especially when i was here, the warriors was still hear. the latest was still here. everybody would come here after those just said it's closing down. but got to move on. you know, that's what we can do. >> in a statement and announced coo says, quote, we are grateful for the local community which has supported us over the last 18 years. and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts our associates and their families. this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company. but our top priority must be the safety. and this may be in announce first closure, but it's not the first business to abandon oakland taken burger corridor, dennis closed its stores last month and recently taco bell also announced it would no longer be opening up its dining room to customers. last

will. the gathering here for the next 2 days. and it seems like they are getting a lot of support from fellow members. of course, who are showing up as well as the public. they are demanding better care for their family as well as the patients. not to mention a pay raise. i did talk to seton medical center. this is what they are offering. so i want to show you their bullet points. before we talk to the union members. so this is what they're offering and they believe this is a fair offer. they are frustrated that, you know what contract negotiations have broken off for now. so they're saying that they are willing to offer 60% pay raise of the next 3 years. they also say that employees and their immediate family members have free health care. they say that is something that's not offered at many other hospitals, but they are willing to do that. and they say the top 5% of their employees when yeah, that benefits in the overtime.

they make an average of $181,000. so they believe it is fair. they want their employees to get back to work instead of being on the picket line. but here's christina talking for the workers on the picket lines. i just the public what they're offering 60% pay raise of the next 3 years. but you're saying that is not enough and you need more. >> it's enough if they had not implemented a health care package that did not have doctors said into the plant. i'm able to see specialist. they require a primary physician and this is the free plan. okay? we're talking about so they they require a primary physician. the primary physicians at the facility have not been paid so they will not see us. so most people are have gone without insurance coverage january when they implemented this without actually having any forethought and what they wanted to do and the doctors that they wanted to bring in it was all like a fake plan.

and you're saying that 60% pay raise. it does not match what the county for this size don't where that, you know, we're compared to 16% would bring us up to county. >> san mateo county hospital. we have done. >> multiple wage freezes it within the years with all of seton struggles. and so we're well behind what having a hard time with attrition and keeping people retain. so we're completely understaffed. we had to lap dated equipment. they don't want i have medical bills in. you know, ranging up to $5,000 that they have unpaid. >> for the past 2 years. and so they think that that this new health care plan that they have plant is going to cover what what we need. i mean, we need health care just like everybody else. other thing is, is that the pay plan does not cover for us to go to the lab to go to have any kind of

imaging services we had to go outside of the hospital. which cost money very good. thank you, christina. >> now i can tell you if you're a patient, they have brought replacement workers, but there is a huge wrinkle and the disruption for you. if you have say elective services, for example, you need a mole removed. well, if that was planned for today, that's not going to happen. that's going to be pushed back and they will reach out to you but emergency services. they are here and they will take care of. you have emergency needs. but anything else that will have to be re the rescheduled for another time because they even admit it is hard to get 460 workers. you know, even though they got notice, it's hard to find 460 workers to go inside. instead, of course, being right here on the sidewalk, looking at their bosses. back to you. >> all right. well, thank you very much. it's 808. and in san francisco, there's been another accident at a bus stop this time. it was in golden
