Workers march at Kaiser Permanente's main medical facility in Los Angeles to call for an increase in hiring as well as a new minimum wage for front-line employees.
Healthcare workers marched on Kaiser Permanente’s main medical facility in Los Angeles on Monday to protest what they describe as bad-faith bargaining and unsafe labor practices from the healthcare giant’s management.
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, which represents more than 85,000 healthcare workers in seven states and the District of Columbia, is negotiating its first contract renewal since 2019.Workers say the pandemic decimated staffing to a degree that endangers patient and staff safety.
Kaiser maintains that it weathered the pandemic-related staffing crises better than other healthcare organizations, with an average employee turnover rate of 8.5%. McDermott said she used the same set of personal protective equipment for a month straight during the pandemic, and often slept in her car or a tent to avoid bringing the virus into her home.The march is a fitting cap on a summer of labor unrest in Los Angeles, where more than 100,000 workers in fields ranging from film and television to hotel staffing have walked off the job and taken to the picket line following failed contract negotiations.
