Mental health workers rally outside Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center as they begin an open-ended strike in Los Angeles Monday, Oct. 21, 2024.
Kaiser said in a statement Monday that the union has been “slow-walking” negotiations, despite the strong proposals the health care company has put on the table. Meanwhile, the union’s proposals “have been overreaching and unreasonable,” the statement said.Antonia Rodarte, a licensed marriage and family therapist for Kaiser, traveled to LA for the work action with about 35 colleagues from Bakersfield, California.
“The union is proposing that full-time therapists increase the amount of time they are not seeing patients to nearly half of their time – at least 19 hours a week. This is unacceptable and would significantly decrease access to appointments for mental health care for our patients,” Kaiser said.
