Today, thousands of Kaiser workers and allies stood strong, walking off the job at facilities across Southern California to protest the company’s unfair and unlawful conduct. Kaiser healthcare workers are standing up to demand that Kaiser return to National Bargaining and negotiate a fair contract.

Strikes took place at dozens of locations throughout Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Kern Counties. Picket lines were filled with thousands of members and supporters, joined by union siblings from across California who came out in solidarity with Kaiser workers.

Pharmacy and lab employees will join striking Kaiser Permanente nurses and other health care workers as they enter the third week of a strike.

UFCW Local 1167 honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who understood that the fight for civil rights is deeply connected to the fight for workers’ rights. Dr. King once said:
“The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress.”
Today, we recommit ourselves to that vision—standing together to protect dignity, fairness, and justice for all working people.
