NUHW: Negotiations Have Resumed in Kaiser Mental Health Strike

After concluding a five-day hunger strike and nearly seven months on strike, Kaiser has returned to the negotiating table to bargain with NUHW. 

“We remain ready to negotiate a fair contract that ends the inequities, which leave Kaiser’s behavioral healthcare system underfunded and understaffed,” NUHW President Emeritus Sal Rosselli said. “The facts remain that we are not seeking anything in terms of patient care time, salary increases, and retirement benefits that Kaiser doesn’t already provide to nearly all of its employees. If Kaiser is serious about putting behavioral healthcare on equal footing with its other services, there is nothing in our proposals that it should find objectionable.”
