31,000 Kaiser Permanente Employees Strike In CA Over Wage Dispute
The strike involves 31,000 union members statewide aiming to improve staffing, pay, and benefits after months of stalled contract talks, the union said.
- A possible five-day strike by health care workers at Kaiser Permanente facilities is set to begin Tuesday and could affect three hospitals in San Diego County, union officials say.
- Negotiations since May have faltered as UNAC/UHCP says stalled talks with Kaiser Permanente and recent layoffs earlier this month sparked demands for safer staffing and better pay.
- Kaiser officials say they will hire up to 7,600 replacement nurses and clinicians, keep hospitals open with possible rescheduling, and maintain staggered picketing at San Diego and Oregon sites.
- Kaiser says normal operations should resume after the strike scheduled to end on Oct. 19, and the union says it is the largest strike in UNAC/UHCP history.
- With 46,000 contracts expired Sept. 30 or Oct. 1, Kaiser employs about 180,000 in California, and the alliance includes 62,000 members amid ongoing labor tensions.
