More than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees walked off the job early this morning after their contract expired. That includes more than 3,800 members of OPEIU Local 2 in the DC region. An overwhelming 98% of OPEIU Local 2 members at Kaiser voted yes to authorize a strike last month. OPEIU members are rallying this morning at Kaiser Permanente in Springfield, VA as the strike gets under way nationwide.
Separately, rehabilitation therapists at Kaiser Permanente the Baltimore-Washington region voted in favor of authorizing an unfair labor practice strike — a result of the same managerial refusal to bargain in good faith.
