Health care workers gain 21% wage increase in pending agreement with Kaiser Permanente after historic strike

3 years ago by jeffw to c/news

Beyond higher wages and improved benefits, the terms of the Kaiser settlement would ensure better staffing, which the unions have argued is critical for providing quality patient care.

The staffing is the real crux and why Kaiser has little leg to stand on. We are all safer in their facilities if there’s proper staffing.

So... they could've done this the entire time and striking was never necessary?

Fuck anyone who thinks the ruling class can't take a hit.

About 5% a year every year for 4 years. The way things have been lately, that might not beat inflation if we are unlucky.

It is hard to celebrate when it takes collective action to get basic stuff...

Proper staffing requires proper wages for the frontline people.
