No pay! Go back to work! Abandonment.. short pricing my butt. Frontline, yeah right. There are lots of candidates still available waiting to work. Replace to strikers. Mr.Kaiser, I am speaking out for the union for raises on my pay. Mr.Kaiser respond,”this is not good time to ask.” “If you want to work, then work and not.” My final thought and no hard feeling. “Get the funk out of here.” 😂😂😂
Speaking from a medical field worker. I hope Kaiser doesn't get whatever they want. In my industry Kaiser pays top dollar not even a trauma 1 hospital and until you know what that means consider yourself lucky. Not even Kaiser workers want to get treated at Kaiser however like I said they pay top dollar. I work at a trauma 1 hospital and we don't get paid as much as Kaiser not by a long shot.
They already make so much money. Greedy!
This is important for all Americans but we just hear about the Trump crime family over and over.
Almost as if a giant corporation doesn't want you to hear about the pro Union movement sweeping the country…
Corporate sociopaths are problem number one for ALL working Americans. They don't care about you, your family,Veterans or America.
Unions all the way, a lot fewer sociopaths.
MUCH better parties.
Hope they get what they want
You selfish fukks just want more money. You're fukking up pharmacy orders. Hopefully they put you on a list and fire your asses later.
Please get the facts straight, Kaiser is the best place to work these unions are asking 6-7 % hike for everyone one there are many underperforming workers who spoil KP’s name and UNIONS care for them only. Average Kaiser Permanente Licensed Vocational Nurse hourly pay in California is approximately $37.89, which is 25% above the National Average. This strike is only for UNION leaders and their caucus who don’t work.Poor front staff fall for it. Kaiser is providing free healthcare + good salary + retirement pensions is that not enough?
GET YOUR MONEY, ❤
Welcome to freeking capitalism, do you want it or not????? If the main point is extra help, then get them extra labor. What’s the extra pay for? Don’t bs and say it’s for the patients be real and say y’all want more money ?
fast food strkes for higher pay, monkey see monkey do kaiser workers do the same then cry when everything goes up in price.
Kaiser gets a HUGE tax break because they put all of their profits (after paying for salaries and bills) bank into improvements and expansion projects. They need to bite the bullet and tack the tax hit for 20 years, cease all improvement projects and pay these poor people. Get them up to snuff in all areas and move the hell on.
You're not fired, you quit your job.
Dont go kaiser ER. too many travelers dont know how system works and the increasing waiting time can be deadly….
well i guess that proves their point… They got enough money to replace them with contracted workers during this strike. Thats crazy…
Sickness care!
During my 30-some years' hospital experience (mostly emergency trauma center RN) , I watched in agonizing consternation as our once-enviable public trust healthcare collaborative devolved into a $$$-generating sickness-care industry.
I can tell you that the most "greedy" are NOT the hands-on staff, but bean-counting adminstrators who care only about THE ALMIGHTY BOTTOM LINE!
"As soon as we put profit into health care, we answer only to the share holders"
—U.S. Rep. Dennis Kocinich, 40 years ago
Democrat Joe, When not looking in the crowd for dead people or pretending to be a faith healer by asking paralyzed people to stand up, the president fills his speeches with mumbling incoherencies, screaming declarations, whispered fantasies and straight up lies. It really is a marvel to behold.
For a guy who admitted in the past that he played no role, and had no real interest in, the Civil Rights Movement, he regularly tells audiences he marched for them. In fact, he was either arrested or almost arrested for his role in the fight. He was even arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa, so committed to the cause was he.
None of that is remotely true – Joe never did anything related to Civil Rights, even though he was old enough during the fight to have participated. He, in fact, associated with racist, segregationist democrats when he first arrived in the Senate in 1973.
A real sign of a sociopath is a willingness to look at what is objectively obvious and deny it. In an interview with John Harwood last week, Biden claimed he somehow managed to convince the late Senator Strom Thurmond to vote in favor of the Civil Rights Act “when I left the Senate.”
There are so many things wrong with this it’s hard to know where to start. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1965, Biden didn’t get elected to the Senate until 1972. Biden “left the Senate” in 2009 to become vice president, Thurmond died in 2003. These are pretty obvious, and rather large, problems with Joe’s proclamation. Harwood said nothing, either being too ignorant to know he was being lied to or too hackish to care. He was, after all, fired by CNN, and you really have to try to not meet their standards.
If you’re wondering how it is someone can lie so obviously so often, without any fear, it’s because he’s been getting away with it his whole life.
The current lies he tells about himself are in the tradition of his lies in the past, only now it’s tough to know if it’s because of senility or not.
He’s lied about the death of his first wife and daughter (hit by a drunk driver), about the death of his son (he died in Iraq), and used both for political advantage, regularly. Talk about gross.
If you’re willing to stand on the graves of family members when it suits your political needs, what wouldn’t you lie about?
And when you’ve got the media on your side, and the truth only hurts your cause, why not lie?
Biden’s lifetime of bull excrement results in headlines like this from The New York Times, “Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel,” with the sub-headline, “President Biden has been unable to break himself of the habit of embellishing narratives to weave a political identity.” You have to be flexible enough to kiss your own rear end to twist reality like that. The first mention of the word “lie” was in paragraph eight and was in reference to Donald Trump, not the subject of the story.
In fact, the only time Biden’s lies are called lies directly are by an “expert” who excuses them. “With Biden, people have decided these are not the kind of lies that matter. These are the kinds of lies that people’s grandfathers tell,” the paper quotes a left-wing professor saying.
The “fact-checker” at the Washington Post chimed in with a beauty of his own, “Biden loves to retell certain stories. Some aren’t credible.” The Post kept a running list of Trump “lies,” most about insignificant things related to ego, but they brush off the literal routine rewriting of history to make himself important. ZZZZ
The weirdest thing about Joe Biden’s lies is they’re wildly unnecessary. He is, after all, president of the United States. That’s historic enough. But he’s so insecure he’s compelled to make things up about himself to cover for shortcomings he sees when he looks in the mirror. If he’s willing to lie about things the truth is easily available to everyone to refute, what do you think he’s willing to say about things conducted in private, when no one was around to see? !X!X!
Good! Let KP dip into their profits and gigantic executive bonuses. Fu*k the top execs and capital partners. We’re done being your slaves.
we respect these over dumbo climate change seaters
