The larger of those two locals, Local 250, began when workers at <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_General_Hospital" title="San Francisco General Hospital">San Francisco General Hospital</a>, who were inspired by the 1934 general strike in San Francisco, organized a union at their hospital in 1934 as the Hospital and Institutional Workers Union #19818, later affiliating with the Building Service Employees International Union, becoming BSEIU Local 250. After affiliation, they won a groundbreaking first contract with the San Francisco Hospital Conference, covering 11 hospitals. BSEIU Local 399 emerged in 1949, when several Southern California local unions consolidated under the leadership of BSEIU's Charles "Pop" Hardy who had a vision of joining small unions together to build strength. It then successfully negotiated a contract with the first <a href="/wiki/Kaiser_Permanente" title="Kaiser Permanente">Kaiser Permanente</a> hospital, in Los Angeles, the following year. </p><p>In 1958, both BSEIU Local 250 and Local 399 joined together in leading the BSEIU effort to defeat Prop. 18, a right-to-work initiative. After BSEIU changed its name to SEIU in 1968, the two locals partnered again in 1974 to successfully lobby Congress to change federal law, allowing non-profit hospitals to organize. The two merged to form SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU Local 2005) in 2004. </p><p>On January 27, 2009, SEIU placed UHW West under trusteeship and dismissed 70 of the local's executives, including president <a href="/wiki/Sal_Rosselli" title="Sal Rosselli">Sal Rosselli</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Rosselli and other ousted leaders reformed under the <a href="/wiki/National_Union_of_Healthcare_Workers" title="National Union of Healthcare Workers">National Union of Healthcare Workers</a> and pushed for UHW West members at 60 facilities to vote to decertify SEIU.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the series of elections that have taken place so far to determine whether or not current SEIU-UHW members want to stay in their union or join rival NUHW, more than 73,000 have chosen to stay in the local.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On June 23, 2010 SEIU-UHW members at Kaiser Permanente ratified a contract covering 46,000 California workers guaranteeing a 3% annual wage increases.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other recent<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The time period mentioned near this tag is ambiguous.
