More than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente health care workers at hundreds of U.S. facilities could go on strike for three days starting Wednesday, in the largest health care strike in the county's history.
Workers say this shortage in staff has deteriorated the quality of care for Kaiser's patients and harmed employees' well-being. About 11% of union positions were vacant in April of this year, according to Kaiser data obtained by the unions.
" really already being affected," Reid said."So our goal with the strike is to hopefully change that."The coalition is pushing for a pay raise of nearly 25% for all of its members along with better benefits, such as more investment in training for current employees and medical coverage for retirees. Kaiser said in a statement that it's close to reaching its goal of hiring 10,000 more people by the end of 2023 to fill vacant roles.
Kaiser also said it's working to reach an agreement with the unions that"protects and improves all these great advantages of working at Kaiser," citing progress in national bargaining over the past week and steps the organization has already taken to streamline the hiring process. "Kaiser really grew with me for all of those years," the 39-year-old El-Amin said, adding that she can't imagine her life without the organization.
