With help from @seiu_uhw, lab tech Christian Siguenza offers a member-activist's take on @UnionCoalition's successful strategy to win a great new contract from Kaiser Permanente. Read her post on @BurnesCenter's @PowerAtWorkBlog:

After mobilizing over 75,000 workers in a three-day strike this October, the @UnionCoalition won a new contract for hundreds of healthcare facilities around the country.

Last Thursday, we announced an unfair labor practice strike authorization vote due to Kaiser’s bad faith bargaining. When @kpthrive fails to work with frontline healthcare workers, our community suffers. #United4All

Healthcare must be about people, not profits. This #LaborDay, we’re taking a stand for a better, more equitable healthcare industry that patients and healthcare workers deserve. Join us in Oakland, LA, or San Diego, starting at 9 a.m.! #United4All

“It’s heartbreaking to see our patients suffer from long wait times for the care they need, all because Kaiser won’t put patient and worker safety first.” thehill.com/policy/healthcar…

At Kaiser West LA, it’s only getting harder for us to afford housing near where we work. #United4All @aboutKP #HotLaborSummer

Healthcare workers at @kpthrive and medical facilities across California are speaking out against the dangers of short staffing and the effects on patients and caregivers. #united4all

Caregivers can’t give patients the care they deserve without enough staff! @kpthrive needs to provide safe staffing levels and additional support! #united4all

During the pandemic, healthcare workers put their lives on the line.
But many are only paid minimum wage and can’t afford to pay their bills.
Meanwhile, CA hospitals made record profits.
Healthcare workers deserve a fair wage.

"We lost so many staff during the pandemic. We cannot get back to full staffing levels because Kaiser cannot compete with the signing bonuses and higher pay that other hospitals offer. Something has to change soon."

"Some people wait an hour to talk to me, only to hear that they can't see their doc for a month. It breaks my heart. Imagine telling that to a recently diagnosed cancer patient. KP needs to think like patients, not just business people."

"As a pharmacist, one error could cause disaster. Working at Kaiser Permanente has become frustrating and scary as the focus is on how fast we can push out prescriptions, not safety. This is not good for anyone; we need more staffing." #coalitionstrong #CKPU #frontlineworkerscare

Many KP departments saw staff cuts during the pandemic; now, patient volumes are rising. "In 22 years at KP, I have been through other emergencies. The response was not to staff down; we staffed up. This time should be no different."

“We give comfort & answers on the most difficult days of patients' lives, & need proper staffing to deliver that excellent care." #coalitionstrong #ckpu #frontlineworkerscare
U relate? @OPEIULocal2 @ulocal30 @OPEIU50 @SEIU105 @SEIU121RN @SEIU1199NW @seiu49 @seiu_uhw @ufcw555
Frontline KP workers are drowning. Marking 25th anniversary of Labor Management Partnership, @UnionCoalition just delivered thousands of #shortstaffing messages, calling on @kpthrive to partner on #hiring and #retention before it is too late. Workers + patients deserve better.
