We are announcing today that 3,300 workers at Kaiser Permanente in Oregon will be voting on whether or not to authorize a strike. The key issue is #SafeStaffing, and we are concerned that Kaiser's low offers at the table could accelerate the staffing crisis. *thread*
After months of bargaining, Kaiser is still putting forward proposals that will not support our members or our communities. They are offering 1%: far below what comparable positions make in the area, and so low that they won't attract new staff.
More importantly, they are pushing forward "two tiers," which would mean that new staff will get much lower wages and benefits. This would create a disaster for the staffing ratios, which are already a massive problem.
