OAKLAND -- Nurses from Kaiser Permanente facilities in the greater Bay Area and throughout the state picketed Thursday to protest the health care giant's alleged refusal to address concerns about health, safety and short staffing, according to the union California Nurses Association/National Nurses United.
"Kaiser made more than $14 billion during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, and yet we are still struggling with chronic short staffing statewide," CNA president Cathy Kennedy and a registered nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Kaiser Roseville said in a news release. 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.
