Since the International Brotherhood of Teamsters averted a strike when it ratified a new contract with UPS on Tuesday, the Kaiser coalition is currently embroiled in the largest single-employer negotiations in the U.S.

Four months into negotiations, Regan said the coalition had not received a counterproposal from Kaiser Permanente, the largest nonprofit health care provider in the U.S.

In a May survey of 33,000 healthcare workers by SEIU-UHW, two-thirds said they’d witnessed delays in or denial of care due to understaffing.

    I always get Kaiser Permanente mixed up with Chef Boyardee.

    I think it’s the “title followed by fun word” format that gets me.

    But yeah my point is that I thought this was a HORECA strike (those are desperately needed) but I’m happy to hear about medical workers striking too.
