Kaiser Permanente employees are ready to strike for a fair contract. Executives said health care workers were heroes during the pandemic, yet they won’t pay these workers higher wages or address chronic understaffing.

Hi John,

 

Kaiser Permanente employees were on the front lines of the pandemic. They risked their lives to care for their patients. Now, they’re ready to strike for a fair contract with higher wages and safer working conditions. Add your name if you support the health care workers at Kaiser Permanente!

Even during a pandemic when other health care systems struggled to make ends meet, Kaiser Permanente was able to turn down COVID-19 relief money because it was so financially strong.

 

But instead of using its tremendous resources to address chronic staffing shortages and invest in its workers, Kaiser Permanente is demanding rollbacks at the bargaining table.

 

Workers are asking for a 4% wage increase and adequate staffing. Instead, management is proposing a 1% increase and a two-tier system that would pay new staff lower wages. And they rejected all worker proposals to recruit and retain permanent full-time employees.

 

This is unacceptable. If Kaiser Permanente thinks its employees are heroes, the least it can do is agree to a fair contract.

 

Add your name to say you support the health care workers at Kaiser Permanente.

 

In Solidarity,
