More than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente health care workers are planning to go on strike this week for two-day strikes at over 250 medical facilities across the United States. The strike is in response to stalled contract negotiations between the National Union of Health Care Workers and Kaiser Permanente and would involve medical technicians, nurses, researchers, office and medical assistants, and other workers. The union argues that Kaiser Permanente is not meeting their demands, such as worker raises and affordable health insurance. The strike is also meant to draw attention to increased corporate profits and the disparities in wages and benefits between frontline workers and managers.
