Tens of Thousands of Healthcare Workers at Kaiser Permanente to Picket at 50 Facilities Over Unsafe Staffing, Patient Care Crisis

OAKLAND, Calif. – Less than three months away from their contract expiration, tens of thousands of healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente will hold pickets to protest the short staffing crisis and its effects on patients and caregivers. The pickets will take place at 50 facilities across California, Washington, Oregon, and Colorado, and will start July 24 and run through July 29.

After three years of the COVID pandemic and chronic understaffing, healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente are calling on management to provide safe staffing levels. Caregivers say understaffed hospitals and clinics are unsafe and can lead to long wait times, mistaken diagnoses, and neglect, making it harder to give patients quality care.

Happy Independence Day from OPEIU

To Our OPEIU Family:

We hope you have a safe, relaxing and happy Fourth of July. As we celebrate this holiday with our loved ones, we're reminded of millions of our nonunion siblings working today — and the millions who have 0 days off in the world's wealthiest nation.

The power of a union contract makes the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we celebrate today easier to access. As union members, let's strive to help spread the benefits of union membership to all working people.

In solidarity,
OPEIU

Celebrating Juneteenth

  • 19 June 2023
Celebrating Juneteenth

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19, is a day of profound meaning to Black workers, as it should be to all working people who enjoy and defend the freedom to live our own lives, speak with our own voices and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

The labor movement knows firsthand the economic disparities that persist for Black Americans in our workplaces. Though explicit slavery has been abolished for more than 150 years, the exploitation of Black labor continues to this day through a systemically racist economy designed to promote wage disparity in the workplace and the chronic unemployment, underemployment and economic exploitation of Black people.

As Juneteenth approaches, we're reminded of how much further we, as a labor movement, still have to go to fulfill the promise of liberty and justice for all.

We must remain at the tip of the spear to uproot systemic racism in all forms if we seek to fully uphold America’s promise of dignity for Black people. We must be a voice for all who live and work in these United States and to say out loud the names of those who were taken from us by racist violence.
