Registered nurses and nurse practitioners from 22 Kaiser facilities across the state participated in the picket and said they have been in negotiations for a new contract with minor movement on important issues.
Kaiser Permanente said in a statement that staffing shortages are affecting all the care and other parts of the U.S. and their facilities are not immune to the trend.
Northern California nurses have been negotiating since June while Los Angeles nurses have been attempting to come to an agreement since August of last year, according to the CNA/NNU. A Kaiser representative said the health care company is optimistic that they will soon reach an agreement that honors their nurses while also prioritizing affordability for their members.
