Striking Workers Injured In Picket Line Incident

Two bizarre incidents left two striking workers at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley with minor injuries Thursday morning, March 2.

Thea Lavin, spokeswoman to SEIU United Healthcare Workers-West said that one woman was punched and sprayed with pepper spray and a man was struck by a car around 7 a.m.

Neither of the injured picketers was hospitalized for their injuries.

According to Lavin, a security guard hired by the hospital was responsible for using the pepper spray.

The sheriff's office is investigating the incidents and will submit reports to the district attorney's office.

Both of the injured picketers will speak, along with doctors from Eden Medical Center and other striking workers, at a noon rally.
