make a note about this particular special contract in front of us today, those nurses that are in laguna honda and s.f. general and other parts of the city. over the last few years, i have been meeting consistently with these nurses. they have shared horrific stories with me and have been really fighting for better conditions and respect. we had a hearing. it happened on the first day that we reported a case of covid 20 years ago, and those conditions have not gotten better but in some cases have gotten worse. we've centered around so many of the different things that would allow these nurses to excel and do better and hired those nurses in a much more appropriate manner to ensure we have the appropriate staffing levels, so i want to thank them for their dedication to the frontlines, their service to our city, and ensuring that our residents had the services that they needed to thrive throughout the last couple of years. i think this contract in front of us reflects their hard work. i know it was almost a 90% approval by their membership. they had almost a 50% turnout, so i know that this is s
