Nearly 60,000 Kaiser Permanente workers say they’re ready to launch an unfair labor practices strike if they can’t reach a labor agreement with the healthcare giant by Sept. 30 when their contract expires. Frontline healthcare workers held a demonstration on Labor Day outside Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center in Hollywood in Los Angeles, Monday, Sep. 4, 2023.
Some 75,000 Kaiser workers across the U.S. — including about 23,000 in the Bay Area — were set to strike after their contract expired Sept. 30 and unions and the company failed to resolve disputes over wages and other issues.Kaiser said it would keep all hospitals and emergency departments open, but there may be longer wait times.
Unions representing workers claim Kaiser has engaged in unfair labor practices and understaffs its facilities, potentially leading to dangerously long wait times, mistakes in diagnosis and patient neglect. The unions also want raises of about 6% a year for four years, and say Kaiser’s raise offer over the weekend of 4% for two years and 3% for the following two years for Northern California workers fell short.
