A coalition of unions representing some 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees is threatening to strike again in November following a massive three-day strike last week.
A coalition of unions representing more than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees is threatening to go on strike again, after carrying out what the labor groups said was the largest strike of health care workers in U.S. history against the hospital network last week. The union coalition announced late Monday it has put Kaiser on notice that a follow-up strike will occur from Nov. 1 to Nov.
The coalition is asking for a 24.5% raise for members over the course of the four-year contract, protections against subcontracting and outsourcing, the right to organize a union at any hospital systems Kaiser might acquire, a boost to workers' performance sharing plan and increased medical benefits. At the time the first strike launched, Kaiser was offering 16% and 12.5% wage increases for coalition employees over the life of the contract, depending on their location.
