The planned strike of over 2,000 Kaiser mental health professionals stems from unresolved staff shortages and excessive wait times, with union members demanding better conditions.
Kaiser has acknowledged inadequate staffing issues leading to excessive wait times, while union surveys indicate a significant dissatisfaction with current working conditions and support.
Union members seek to address chronic understaffing by negotiating raises exceeding 30% over four years, aiming to improve retention and align pay with other Kaiser roles.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers emphasizes the urgent need for adequate time for non-therapy duties, highlighting a stark contrast with Northern California's better provisions.
