The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions is poised for a three-day strike starting Wednesday, which would be the largest healthcare worker walkout in U.S. history.
More than 75,000 healthcare workers across five states and Washington, D.C., will be holding an unfair labor practices strike after contract negotiations failed to produce a new agreement for the expiration date passed at midnight on Saturday."This three-day strike will be the initial demonstration of our strength to Kaiser that we will not stand for their unfair labor practices," the coalition said in a statement.
The organization employs nearly 24,000 physicians and over 87,000 non-physician staff, serving nearly 13 million patient members. Workers cite chronic understaffing problems and burnout as chief reasons for why they would picket the company that union members brand as"out of touch." — SEIU Local 49 October 1, 2023 Understaffing at Kaiser has been exacerbated by the massive exodus of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding wave of early retirements. This, coupled with increasing demand for routine care delayed during the pandemic, has increased the burden on the remaining healthcare staff.
