- A labor contract for thousands of unionized health care workers across five states and Washington, DC expired, which can potentially triggeri the largest health care strike in US history. More than 75,000 health care employees who work at hundreds of Kaiser Permanente facilities plan to strike from October 4 through October 7 if a labor deal is not reached.

there is no shortage of executives....
However, only 12,024 employees received more than $100,000 in compensation with the 66 most highly compensated employees reported to be: $15,562,224: Gregory Adams, Chairman and CEO. $ 5,224,405: Arthur Southam, EVP, Health Plan Operations. $ 5,027,913: Kathryn Lancaster, EVP and CFO.
Too many greedy talentless CEOs and Board members making too much money. Personally if they can’t afford to give their employees a living wage, I don’t want to see them in operation!
They already are paid a living wage...and then some.
@@ZyrixDeinhardt For the workload, they do not earn enough!
We need socialized medicine to cut out the parasite insurance companies.
The issue is hospital prices. If hospitals charged a reasonable amount , insurance would be cheap. Medicare for all would force hospitals to lower their prices or they don get paid.
But that would hurt profits! :P
Socialized medicine, as of now, is totally out of reach due to pricing and needing a lot more healthcare professionals to make it happen. Maybe over the years with technology getting better that could happen but, as of now, it’s only a dream to hope for
@@MrMatt531 Why is it sustainable and work so much better in europe? USA really is a one off outlier when it comes to how the wealthy countries handle healthcare, education and welfare
Rationed health care. Yeah, that's a good idea. You people who believe that will work better never cease to amaze me.
Start paying the people what they deserve..🙄
Excuse me but don't preach for a raise and threaten to shut down healthcare while this administration sends in illegals w Tubulosis like we are dumb . Thanks
Get Trump back in the WH. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@mhall801 why, Terrorist Trump wanted to keep Americans at eight dollars an hour while CEOs made millions for only working two months a year
Nurses make more than $150k.
@@daviderickennedy2194 bingo!
It is sad when healthcare workers were considered essential during the pandemic but they can't pay them a living wage. My son in law is a dialysis nurse for Kaiser and she's burnt out because she says there's such a staff shortage that there's 4 nurses taking care of 75 patients and now she's found out one nurse is leaving for a different job.
I am a medical transport driver and several times I've had to turn around and pick up my client because Kaiser canceled their appointment without notifying them because the doctor told the staff that he/she had to many appointments to handle.
They can’t be paid a living wage when they support out of control spending that makes the money they are paid worth less. Does no one understand what democrats are doing? Democrats use unions to increase the tax base. They support union wage hikes because they know the more they(the workers) get paid the more they can take from them in taxes. The union leadership follows in lock step because their pockets are being filled. All the while their “brothers and sisters” struggle to stay above water.
The minimum wage at Kaiser is $23/hr. In what world is that not a living wage.
I agree about burnout though...that's more of a national problem than just at Kaiser. There just aren't enough new nurses every year to be able to hire.
@@rekcusdoo if you live in California $23 per hour barely covers the rent. Believe me I know. The cost of living is so high that $23 pretty much equals getting $13 especially after the tax man gets you
Ever try wondering anyone can't get appointment and have to WAIT months???? These people are lazy. Quit and work at McDonalds idiots
This will never get better. We need socialized medicine. There is too much greed & profit in our healthcare system that it is no longer serving anyone.
Right. And there's no greed and profit amongst politicians.
Socialized medicine, as of now, is totally out of reach due to pricing and needing a lot more healthcare professionals to make it happen. Maybe over the years with technology getting better that could happen but, as of now, it’s only a dream to hope for
@@MrMatt531 I've heard "it's not possible" for years but the reality is it's completely possible, we know it is, we see it in other countries but- there are too many lobbyists, special interests, industries interested in keeping our system that way it is for greed & profit. Plain & simple. They play this game of misinforming the public into actually advocating for worse healthcare while people post "go fund me's" begging their friends & neighbors for the money to cover their medical expenses.
Is the government going to pay for health care workers education?
@@bngr_bngrin most of Europe the different governments do pay for education. I am sure it is the same to your north in Canada
Kaiser CEO's are making more than ever. I have Kaiser insurance and it takes me up to 2 months to get an appt with my primary dr.
Yes it does take 2 months or longer!
They need to hire more qualified people because of the rise of membership.
@@billrobbins5874 - The problem isn't about attracting people to Kaiser. The problem is that there just aren't enough people earning the college degrees needed to do these qualified jobs. Fewer and fewer new doctors and nurses every year. It's a national problem, not just at Kaiser.
@@rekcusdoo yes, the costs of attending college had soared significantly in the passed decades. Then the wages these people receive aren't enough to provide the basic needs they need let alone afford to pay student loans off. A made to profit only the corporations? Capitalism gone amuck? Need answers at the management levels. More questions here than answers. You, any real solutions?
@@billrobbins5874 - You're conflating different issues in the country. You're taking a problem that exists with the bottom 50% of the country and assigning it to a group of people not in that population group. The wages that nurses and doctors make are DEFINITELY enough to provide the basic needs and pay off student loans.
And no, I don't have a solution to "not enough people are going to college and getting advanced medical degrees". Is "Elysium" a solution? lol
I'm a RN. Universally, administration thinks we are disposable
@@ZyrixDeinhardt it's not abandonment if I haven't taken responsibility for them and taken report.
Because I saved your Grammy's life without thanks, I also should be paid shit?
I have 2 degrees and 15 years experience. I make HALF of what the UPS man does.
Staff shortages in healthcare is everywhere.
*Because they don’t pay them enough.*
@@joebidenisyourpresidentget2481👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kaiser actually pays more than other healthcare systems plus they are the only one outside of county hospitals to offer a pension. The shortages are everywhere and I’m not sure where they can get more. Our hospitals can’t. We have a $30k sign on bonus offered for my position and still nothing
@@BryantKHill pre Covid yes but after Covid prices has gone up. Every other healthcare provider except Kaiser has given a substantial raise difference with bonuses to their front line workers
@@ccorl2977maybe that’s true in your area. It is true at a nonprofit in my area for sure. However, I work for HCA and they definitely haven’t given us a substantial raise, except for RN’s. I’m a cardiovascular rad tech and we were told that we aren’t nurses, so we didn’t receive their raise amount. Non of us or RN’s received any hero or retention bonus.
Union Strong!

Stand your ground... This RN is with you.
@JourneywithJosh …… thank you! These greedy corporations are really showing their true colors … ESPECIALLY during & after the Pandemic!! Thank you for your support!
This country is in crisis mode!
@@andrinabroussard1972 totally agree.. They refuse to properly staff. Expect workers to do more and yet don't want to pay more. The public needs to demand changes-it affects them.
@@JourneywithJosh - They don't "refuse" to properly staff. There just isn't enough staff to hire. It is something that needs to be addressed, but it isn't as simple as to say they are willfully not staffing.
As for paying more, Kaiser pays more than any of its competitors.
@@rekcusdoo ok admin, what ever you say.
@@JourneywithJosh - Very intelligent response.
The minimum wage at Kaiser is $23/hr, and that's BEFORE benefits. Kaiser also give its employees FREE healthcare, 401k contributions, up to 8 weeks of vacation depending on your longevity and a pension (which almost noone outside of government gets anymore).
As I said, Kaiser pays more than any of its competitors.
Healthcare should not be provided by Investor-owned for-profit organizations (particularly private equity).
Kaiser is not for profit.
@@dsddala467 Yeah it is lmao
@@dsddala467 You are right. My apologies.
Lmao cut taxes or raise wages .. somethings gotta give
There you go perfectly said!
So you make over six figures? Taxes still need to be raised for the top percent of earners. This idiotic thought of trickle down economics has been a failed experiment from Reagan. Use common sense. Companies use the fear of increase taxes to pinch your pockets to vote against your own interest to make them happy for a few cents “saved”.
Of particular significance in California.
They already have wages that are really good.
KP employees lives were lossed during Covid. They had to go to work during the lockdown. Remember how confusing things were? Mask shortages, no beds available because of over crowding, to name a few. All while we had no idea what covid-19 was.
They sent cloth masked to employees, employees died. Sad.
@@xenthoughtbrandceo in fact, in the beginning, hospital administration wouldn't let The employees wear mask, because they didn't want panic amongst patients.
The regular Kaiser employees are sooooo backstabbing that they got rid of many workers….that’s why they are short staffed
I think how health workers are treated like assembly line workers. It is just move as many patients through the exam/test that the workers end up with injuries from constant movement. I don't blame them for going on strike.
You forgot Traitor Joe Bidens record inflation gas prices and high interest rates. Demonrats failed as usual!!
CEOs hate unions. Do you think it's because they are looking out for their employees?
Unions are garbage! And quite frankly the destruction of U.S. manufacturing!
No
They are looking out for shareholders who are mostly 401k holders.
@@bngr_bngr You are drawing a causality between union busting and providing value for shareholders. It's not a binary choice. CEOs are averaging 272x the median pay of their employees. If their concern was shareholders, they wouldn't be paying themselves such insane salaries. They could pay themselves 50x the median employee salary and lower OPEX. What they want is to maximize their pay though. They know that if their employees make more money then they have to lower OPEX by lowering their salary.
@@magicalfrijoles6766 the majority of CEO pay is equity that doesn’t cost anything to the company. Their salary is relatively small.
When Kaiser is threatening to strike, you know the system out of whack...
Some of their demands are a little unreasonable, such as pay raises when Kaiser is already at the top of the market. But some are reasonable, such as addressing burnout and staffing issues.
They need to hire more people.
@@user-oo8ch7vl1l - @"They need to hire more people." - They've hired about 50,000 people this year based on previous contract negotiations and are offering an additional 10,000.
The hangup is probably around the pay raises, which are an unreasonable request by the Union.
Which of these are unreasonable?

All jobs need a raise but certain things like health should be given the utmost high pay
The minimum wage at Kaiser is $23/hr.
The problem with Kaiser is their seniority. It’s normal and average to drive 1.5 hours to work for each employee because no one can work where they live. You have one person get hired 6 months before another person and they choose all their vacations earlier and then also bring in their own family members and then all of a sudden no one can go on vacation or work where they live
Ironically, that seniority is something that the Unions demand. That isn't a Kaiser problem since I'm sure Kaiser would do away with seniority in a heartbeat if the Unions would allow it.
Huh???
The real problem is pay!! We can't afford to live where we work. Our union has our contract high jacked for Futuro Health and Allied Up. Futuro Health students are dues paying members of the SEIU-UHW community division. They make this a mandatory requirement to be in the program. They pay $20 a month. Allied Up employees are SEIU-UHW members. They are a registry and undermine our contract. DAVE REGAN and SEIU-UHW are financially gaining from this!! This is a conflict of interest. Not one DUES paying member voted to have this included in our contract. Dave is asking for 300 million, 75 million each year over 4 years. In the 2019 contract it is written that Kaiser will give $130 million, and they are not obligated to give anymore. The initial ask by SEIU-UHW was 7%,7%,6.25%, and 6.25%. The union has now reduced the ask to 5,5,6.25,6.25. Inflation is at 8.7, and we didn't have the common sense to ask for 10%. We need parity for California workers, and that isn't even an ask on the table. We need liveable wages!! Take Futuro Health off the table.
Two examples of this, we took my mom to the local small hospital, she had kidney failure and was dying. She had to stay in the ER at our small town hospital because in Reno, Nevada they couldn’t find a hospital to take her, even though she had the best medical insurance you can get, she died the next day. I have heart and kidney failure and I ended up in the ER in the same small town hospital, and they couldn’t transfer me to any hospital in Reno at all, so I went home. Both times they told us they had staffing shortages. So it appears we dont matter!
I’m really sorry to hear about your mom and that you yourself experienced this first hand. I’m praying for your good health,strength and longevity ❤
It happened to me, I had breast cancer in Georgia and had to wait months for work up and surgery. It really did suck.
Yikes!I applied w Kaiser Permanente a while back, glad I didnt get hired.

If you think Kaiser is overpriced and treats it's employees bad, can you imagine how bad a federal government run health care provider would be? The only difference is that no one would be able to hold the government system accountable.
Yea, that would be the Veterans Health Administration, we get treated like S__T!
@@Fatma-mx6cc Yeah, and that's how they treat people who served and sacrificed. Can you imagine how they will treat the average Joe.

And do these Politicians care… nope! They’re seen at private Hospitals (PPO’s).

Jamal Bowman should be prosecuted for insurrection. He knew exactly what he what he was doing. When he pulled that fire alarm. He intentionally interfered with a congressional vote. So we should expect the DOJ to move forward with this.
I am a Kaiser Permanente retiree. My son is a Kaiser RN
Too many problems happening at once. Kaiser isn’t the only facilities that is short staffed… most medical facilities are short staffed these days. The affordable care act was great for getting people coverage… but staffing hasn’t kept up with the increased demand of all these new people in the system. Add in Covid and burnout… plus there are not enough teachers available for medical/nursings schools to train future healthcare workers. It’s a cyclical problem. And the more stress and pressure put on our existing healthcare workers have them dropping out too.
@@user-sw9fq2mx6u sorry to break it to you but there is no political party orchestrating this. I know it’s more comfortable to tell yourself someone in power is working against us rather than the reality that life is chaotic and unorganized and nobody is in charge. This is just what happens when systems break down. Hopefully useful people can devise and organize useful ways to fix what’s going on… but you sitting there pointing your finger at the imaginary boogy men you’re trying to assign blame to for this complex issue just shows your immaturity and entitlement.
@@soul2soul399 totally agree!
One major problem is the fact that those in power are ridiculously callous and greedy!!
The wealth gap between CEO’s/COO’s of most major corporations are 300% + greater than their Employee currently.
50 years ago those percentages were 15% difference.
That’s corporate greed across the nation and I’m sure throughout the world! The rich keep getting richer and expect the poor/middle class to continue to grovel and just get by.
@@soul2soul399I hate to break it to you but democrats are all in favor of your efforts. Always have and always will because they know, the more you get paid, the more they will get paid. Remember it’s the democrats who shut down schools, forced everyone to share space resulting in what we now know, if you follow the science, we’re decisions that just exasperated the issue. Keep fighting to fill their pockets while they fight to figure out how to keep you right on the edge of drowning so you’ll vote for their life preserver legislation again. Who do you think is allowing MILLIONS of patients across our border right now? You don’t think that’s on purpose?
@@andrinabroussard1972 You are absolutely right!
Well ya, Greg Adams needs that one million dollar bonus he gets yearly while we all struggle to make this place run. We the people are pissed off! We the people make Kaiser run!

15$ million, I’m pissed off with lack of staffing.
That company is one of the biggest donors of the democrat party.
Kaiser Permanente doesn't care about anything other than their bottom line. If they can do more with fewer employees, then that's what they'll do. They consider staff other than doctors, dentists, etc. irrelevant. It's funny how HR demands all these qualifications, education, etc., but if you get the job, the employees don't seem to have any of these qualifications, education, etc.
Heck, they consider some doctors irrelevant. One Dr. would have to come back to do transcribing/patient notes well until a little after midnight. He left because he was being overworked. He appreciated me where KP didn't, and gave me a farewell card with $100.... I was so shocked that I teared up. Not many value or care about EVS workers. KP should staff, and pay retention to long term staff for their loyalty and their valued service to the communities they serve.
KP staff deserves better, so that they can serve patients better. I don't want my community unhealthy, but if I'm struggling to stay healthy myself, that's going to compound peak illness seasons. Surely KP should be able to see this.
Look, i dont care what your stance is but front workers are not always the experts on their subject

“Who cares who has to suffer as long as we get our way” there couldn’t be a better slogan for the democrat party.
Seems like the biggest concern is staffing, yet walking out seems like it will hurt staffing. What exactly is it that KP mgmt isn't doing that they SHOULD be doing to improve staffing? Legitimate question, I know staffing is bad and has been really bad since 'rona... but what aren't they doing to try to fix it? Looking quickly on their website there are literally thousands of open positions for Nurses. Is the core of the problem a lack of Nurses looking for a job?

Not being able to live where you work isn't a great argument. In a vacuum. Do they mean the city? Or the whole dang state? Because if I worked in Brickell, Manhattan or Beverly Hills, it doesn't mean I should necessarily make the wages possible for me to live there... now if you're talking about somewhere like Detroit, Cleveland or Camden NJ, then yeah, that's 🤬 outrageous. But if I work in MI and can't afford to live in the state or within 10-15 miles of where I work then something is definitely wrong.
And anyone that thinks working in a place means you also be able to live there, you're cooking up a recipe for a dystopian future where we live in zones and classism gets baked into families automatically, leaving people possibly locked into wealth or poverty based PURELY on geography for generations.

If you cant afford to live where you work, then, you should MOVE.

All metro, business districts are like that. Get used to it.
How can you move without the money and means to do so? Moving ain't free.

Yes, this is a continuing trend that is going to continue until the corporate America pays the American people enough money to buy a home enough money to have a life enough money to live where they work this pretty simple $20 minimum wage isn’t enough it’s got to be up over 30 and that it’s just going rate that’s a beginning rate to bad that we’re not you know Taiwan China or India we R United States do you wanna work with United States? Do you want to work in the United States? You got a pay the people so that they can have the life that they were promised to have for being United States citizens that is why these corporate America has been bringing in slaves from other countries, and actually increasing migration, and actually increasing illegal immigration, because the illegal immigrants are being hired by these corporate to so they can pay cheaper money to human labor. Corporate America is the problem with immigration, not the government. The government is trying to mitigate migration and it’s been about it by corporate America cause I don’t wanna pay Americans a fair wage.
Minimum wage should have never been increase to what it is now. This affected the cost of living.
All Americans are having difficulty purchasing food, purchasing clothing, purchasing energy, and other essential needs under the Biden economy. We see this across-the-board, but this is becoming evident with our Democrat party union base workers who are now striking or higher wages in better working conditions brought about by the Biden administration. We didn’t have this issue under the previous administration. At that time we remember an article by the Wall Street Journal that reported that during the Trump administration lower and middle income Americans were receiving a higher percentage of wage increase than upper class Americans. Black unemployment was at a historic low level. We were also energy independent, according to the EIA.
Pull your head out of the MAGA sand, and revisit the third grade.
They can't even help come up with a diagnosis for your family members after a year and now they want to close their offices for wages. SCREW big phrama
Great. Now my healthcare costs will go up even more...
Bidenomics.😂
The picture showing all the obese workers striking is not very inspirational towards helping the actual needy.
The science of the future won't need human workers, leaving more profits for the owners and nothing for the surplus to requirement workers. Strikes are a very good way to speed up the destruction of work. If you are successful with a strike, the employer will start finding new ways to downsize his staff exposure and at the same time increase profits. In time the only job left will be that of a government subsidised consumer.
SO human workers lobbying for proper treatment should shut up? if all workers in all sectors unionized corporate America might need to change
@@elizabethheyenga9277 It won't make any difference in the long term. This is the future that we have blindly walked into. People did warn us, but we thought it was all science fiction. So, it doesn't look like we are going to be living in a Star Trek future after all, unfortunately it's going to be more like Blade Runner.
Quick, where old Joe to protest with them before he decides to make there striking is illegal just as he did with the railroad workers............
Your MAGA grammar is pathetic.
This is all retribution from JB's meddling policies in every part of our nation's economy from fossil fuels, small business jobs, law enforcement, all essential workers, corporate leadership, supply chains, and transportation hubs.
that is a very tired drum to beat. Also the literal truth doesn't bear your wisdom out.
Some how you JB lovers have to get down to your ear and eye doctor and get some help with those deaf ears and blind eyes you using.
Mar 7:33 KJV - 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
Wrong! Rising income inequality, was one of Reagan’s many unfortunate legacies

Representative Jamaal Bowman and a person of colored Democrat of New York, pulled a fire alarm in the House Cannon office building on Saturday as his party was trying to delay a vote on a stopgap spending bill, prompting an evacuation of the building and investigations by the Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee.
