Labor issues continue to be a hot button issue in 2023, with now as many as 75,000 healthcare workers potentially going on strike this week.
But one industry that was crucial to getting the country through the covid pandemic is experiencing labor strife after a coalition of eight unions representing 75,000 employees saw their labor contract expire Saturday night after months of failed negotiations.Employees of Kaiser Permanente — the largest healthcare operator in the country which operates a hospital network with over 300,000 personnel across 39 hospitals — could strike as soon as Wednesday if a deal is not reached before then.
"In fact, the current position of Kaiser executives will accelerate the short staffing crisis that is having disastrous consequences for patients within the Kaiser network." The union is looking for a four-year contract that raises pay 7% during the first two years and 6.25% in the second half of the contract. They also want workers to be eligible for an annual performance bonus that would equal a percentage of their annual wages if goals are met.
