The largest health care workers strike in US history is now imminent as negotiations have stalled with Kaiser Permanente. SEIU-UHW, in coordination with the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions (CKPU) representing over 75,000 union members across California and the Western US, has gained Strike Sanction from this Labor Council and is preparing to mobilize for action.
Despite extensive profits and the on-going crises of the broader health care system, Kaiser has not bargained to meet the demands of the workers to improve staffing levels and to take other measures to retain health care workers. This is detrimental to workers and patients alike, and the time to stand is now! Pending any final negotiations, current contracts with the union workers will expire tomorrow.
We are asking all affiliates to come as able to the Strike Rallies scheduled for next Thursday, 10/5 in Vallejo and Vacaville. RSVP here – https://forms.gle/pYTtdbq6fR7GFQhZ7
