Steward Employees Want Answers From CEO

Soaring turnover, constant outsourcing, and frequent policy changes leave employees demoralized

Steward Health Care employees are demanding answers from CEO Ralph de la Torre as they voice concerns over high turnover, constant outsourcing, and frequent policy changes.

A group of employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, sent a letter to de la Torre on Tuesday outlining their concerns. They said that turnover has reached "crisis levels" and expressed frustration over the company's reliance on outsourcing. The employees also raised concerns about the company's frequent policy changes, which they said have created a sense of instability.

Steward Health Care is one of the largest healthcare providers in the United States, with more than 40,000 employees and 38 hospitals. The company has been under fire in recent months for its labor practices, including its use of outsourcing and its treatment of unionized workers.

• In the letter to de la Torre, the employees called on him to take immediate action to address their concerns. They asked him to meet with them to discuss their concerns and to develop a plan to improve the situation.
• De la Torre has not yet responded to the letter, but a spokesperson for the company said that he is aware of the employees' concerns and is committed to working with them to address them.
• The employees' concerns come at a time when the healthcare industry is facing a number of challenges, including rising costs and a shortage of qualified workers.

Steward Health Care is not the only healthcare provider that is facing these challenges. Many other hospitals and health systems are also struggling to retain employees and manage costs.

The employees' letter to de la Torre is a sign of the growing frustration among healthcare workers. They are demanding better working conditions and a say in the decisions that are made about their future.
