Union president Mary Kay Henry said Kaiser has not provided an adequate living wage and benefits to thousands of front-line health care workers.
Nearly 75,000 union members have gone on strike against Kaiser Permanente, marking the largest strike ever conducted in the U.S. health care field.
"This week, 75,000 health care workers across multiple states are ready to take brave action by going on an unfair labor practice strike," Henry said."Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation’s largest hospital companies that made $3 billion in profits between January and June alone. Workers across race and background are taking on Kaiser, saying it’s time to bargain in good faith and respect us, protect us and pay us the living wages we need to thrive.
Nurses, lab techs, pharmacists, X-ray techs, and food and janitorial workers are among those who are striking.
