Christopher “Chris” Medina, UCSD Health — Hillcrest Medical Center & La Jolla Medical Center Facilities Engineering

“I am asking for your vote to join our Teamsters 2010 UCSD/K6-Unit Bargaining Team. I have worked at UCSD for over 8 years and I am currently one of the CUP Operators in the FE Department at Hillcrest. During my time at UCSD, I have worked at both Hillcrest and JMC in La Jolla. I am an active union member. I have been a union steward in La Jolla and worked very hard as a blue card organizer to make the transition to Teamsters Local 2010.

“I want to thank the members for this nomination and ask all of our members for their support.”
