Amid the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers in Southern California and Oregon have voted to authorize a strike, citing staff shortages.
With nearly 96 percent voting in favor of the strike, the United Nurses Assns. of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP), have entered into talks with Kaiser Permanente to avert what could affect hospitals in over a dozen Southern California cities, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Concerns about safety at work have led nurses to strike across the country over the last year. In July, about 1,400 registered nurses at USC Norris Cancer Hospital in Los Angeles and Keck Hospital of USC staged a two-day strike, citing concerns such as long shifts, not enough staff, and an overreliance on contract nurses. Nurses at San Francisco’s Chinese Hospital and Riverside Community Hospital also went on strike earlier this year.

How many of the “missing” health care professionals are former Kaiser Permanente employees who left California?
Hearing a little of Dan Bongino’s comparison of the air traffic and flight crew refusals to come to work reminding him of the Lech Walensa strikes in Poland with 1/3 of the workers out and it led to the fall of communism there-———I said “just one strike?”
Now there’s news of at least one more, over health this time.
