3,000 Kaiser Permanente mental health workers strike for 8 days in multiple cities, seeking improved staffing and conditions.
Kaiser Permanente mental health workers have been on strike for eight days, picketing in Los Angeles, Anaheim, Fontana, and San Diego. The union, representing about 3,000 professionals, demands better staffing ratios and conditions, citing high turnover and burnout. Negotiations stalled last Friday with no further sessions scheduled. Kaiser claims to have invested over $1 billion in mental health since 2020, while the union seeks an agreement akin to one reached in Northern California.
