Kaiser Permanente workers on strikeMore 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. Commercial cleaners rally ahead of strike voteAs the October 15 contract expiration looms for 9,100 commercial cleaners in the DC region, both sides remain far apart on negotiations. On Monday commercial cleaners with 32BJ SEIU rallied in downtown DC. “No one wants to strike, but we are ready to strike if employers keep pushing cuts that cleaners can’t afford,” said 32BJ Executive Vice President Jaime Contreras. “These workers were considered essential during the pandemic, but the industry is treating them like they’re disposable when they are key to downtown’s recovery.” UNITE HERE Local 23 reaches tentative agreement for Sodexo food service workers
