If no agreement is reached Tuesday morning, or if there’s no agreement to put off the strike, workers will hit the picket lines Wednesday morning.
With health care employees for Kaiser Permanente poised to launch a three-day strike that their union says will be the largest of its type in U.S. history, contract talks between the health care provider and union negotiators continued Monday and will resume Tuesday in hopes of averting the walkout.
"Kaiser executives are refusing to listen to us and are bargaining in bad faith over the solutions we need to end the Kaiser short-staffing crisis," Jessica Cruz, a licensed vocational nurse at Kaiser Los Angeles Medical Center -- one of the planned picket locations -- said in a statement released by the union."I see my patients' frustrations when I have to rush them and hurry on to my next patient. That's not the care I want to give.
The workers' contract expired Saturday, but bargaining continued over the weekend and again Monday. If no agreement is reached Tuesday morning, or if there's no agreement to put off the strike, workers will hit the picket lines Wednesday morning.
