More than 75,000 workers to strike at hundreds of Kaiser Permanente health facilities across U.S.
More than 75,000 workers to strike at hundreds of Kaiser Permanente health facilities across U.S.
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions has described the work stoppage as the largest strike of health-care workers in U.S. history.
A healthcare worker strike is the second best thing to a general strike, hopefully the sentiment spreads.
40I'm hoping this strike works out well. The medical field is woefully underrepresented by unions. We need more action

Roaring 20s are back baby!
34I hate that these places of healthcare use patients that are suffering as a barrier to striking. Proud of these striking workers, stick it to the system and get fair and equal treatment
28It really is fucked up, same thing with teachers, they got into the industry to help people either survive or learn and you can’t get the time back in either instance when you strike

Nixon legalized and subsidized HMOs because his friend Edgar Kaiser thought it would be profitable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QkgUkM0o6Q
Kaiser is unlike regular insurance because they don't let you pick an independent provider. Instead, all your doctors are hired directly by the insurance company in a major conflict of interest.
