Over 68,000 Kaiser Permanente health care workers in California are preparing to go on strike for three days beginning Wednesday to push for solutions to staffing shortages and improved labor practices.
"Kaiser executives are refusing to listen to us and are bargaining in bad faith over the solutions we need to end the Kaiser short-staffing crisis," Jessica Cruz, a licensed vocational nurse at Kaiser Los Angeles Medical Center, said a statement. "I see my patients’ frustrations when I have to rush them and hurry on to my next patient. That’s not the care I want to give. We’re burning ourselves out trying to do the jobs of two or three.
In the Bay Area, medical centers could be impacted in Antioch, Fremont, Oakland, Redwood City, Richmond, San Francisco, South San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, Santa Clara, Santa Rosa, Vacaville, Vallejo and Walnut Creek, according to the coalition of unions. If a strike occurs, hospitals and emergency departments will be open, according to an emailed statement from Kaiser.
