More than 75,000 workers are striking at Kaiser Permanente locations across the U.S., demanding the nonprofit fix its staffing crisis.
Wednesday, October 4, 2023 4:15PM, with a coalition of unions alleging the health care system is engaging in unfair labor practices.
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, which represents more than 85,000 workers, said Kaiser is experiencing a short-staffing crisis and that unsafe levels of staffing can result in long wait times, patient neglect and missed diagnoses. In a statement to ABC News on Wednesday, Kaiser said bargaining was ongoing and some agreements had been reached.
Kaiser had said throughout the strike, all of its hospitals and emergency departments will remain open and contract workers have been hired to backfill striking employees.
