Kaiser Permanente workers authorize strike if talks fail

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:48:34 GMT

Tens of thousands of Kaiser Permanente workers have authorized a strike to begin at the end of this month if negotiations fail with the hospital chain.About 98% of the SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West union voted to strike if a deal isn't reached by Sept. 30, the union said in a Thursday press release. "This could be the largest healthcare strike in U.S. history, as workers say Kaiser executives refuse to acknowledge the decline in patient service and care and negate the struggle of the workforce to keep up with the high cost of living in areas where Kaiser operates," the union said.In addition to the 60,000 members of SEIU-UHW, Colorado Kaiser employees also voted to authorize a strike, and Oregon Kaiser employees will unveil the results of their strike vote Thursday. Up to 85,000 workers in total could strike.“For weeks, Kaiser sent us messages telling us to reject a strike," Miriam De La Paz, who works at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Downey, said in the statement.
