Kaiser Permanente Workers Demand Met or Face More Strikes
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC
Kaiser Permanente workers have threatened to go on further strikes if their demands regarding health-care staffing and job outsourcing are not met by executives. The current strike, involving over 75,000 workers in California, Colorado, Washington, and Oregon, is said to be the largest walkout by health-care workers in U.S. history. The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions accuses the company of refusing to limit outsourcing and subcontracting jobs, while also demanding long-term investments to address staffing shortages. Bargaining sessions are scheduled for next week.
