Do you know who doesn't have a UNION ?
NCO'S Active Military and Families
NCO'S 100% Disabled Veterans
WHO have not had a pay raise in over 20 years.
I would rather die than go to a Kaiser hospital. Those hospitals are a nightmare. CLOSING THESE HOSPITALS WILL SAVE LIVES.
I Love Kaiser and its mission,this 3 day strike is not good for members who are chronically ill. These unions are asking 7 % hike for all workers for three years straight. A underperforming worker will also get same hike that is unacceptable. Remember there are many jobless people in this country who are willing to work. Feeling Sad for those who fall for these UNIONs words. Union sucks.
$2.00 raise over 4 years will be the deal.
America poor
THIS IS GREAT NEWS THE PRESIDENT WILL BE ON THE PICKET LINE JUST LIKE UAW STRIKE UT REALLY HELPS EVERY ONE NEEDS AT LEAST 100 DOLLARS A HOUR JUST TO SURVIVE IN BIDENS AMERICA BIDENOMICS THE RISING COST OF VOTING STUPID
The main thing is that there is enough money to finance corruption in Ukraine.
Support all striking workers. Medicaid members use up most or half of medical resources while middle class workers have paid others’ and their own bills. Corrupt politicians!
This is BS these are some of the best compensated people in society for one of the most profitable industries in society. This strike is BS replace them with AI
All these sick people they don’t need more money
I thought they were heroes nurses 😂
Just want to call out PBS here as the only news organization covering this story I've seen that has turned comments OFF. Thank you, NBC and the rest for providing a space for public comment and shame on "Public Broadcasting Service"!
Half need to pay there school loans lol😂
how dare the say the workers should make die with their pay. blasphemy on Babylon!
i'm so proud of these healthcare workers for standing up for themselves, others!!🎉🎉🎉
If Bidennomics is so great, why is everyone going on strike?
Jesus loves u and he can take away the pain
We had Kaiser in SF for 5 years and realized how terribly managed it was. NOthing got done, and staffers had no answers for any of our issues for getting care or filling out forms. A huge bureaucracy at its worst, so we left for a different HMO and it's been a huge positive change for us. We suffered under Kaiser, wasted so much time. The current CEO was a rotten organization handed to him from the previous person.
Good to know she put Virginia on west coast…..😅
I needed a chuckle 😂
Insurance premium will be higher after this strike,
