Kaiser Permanente and union representatives are meeting today for last-minute talks. If a deal isn't reached, workers are set to go on strike nationwide.
SAN DIEGO — The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions which represents over 85,000 healthcare workers in seven states and Kaiser Permanente are in last-minute negotiations Tuesday morning in hopes of averting a strike.
Workers are protesting that Kaiser is committing unfair labor practices and that understaffing is boosting Kaiser's profits but hurting patients. On September 22nd they gave Kaiser executives a 10-day notice for an unfair labor practice strike that could happen Wednesday. Kaiser executives from the San Diego facilities released a recent statement where they said patient safety and providing high-quality care remain their top priorities.
