Unionized Kaiser mental health workers in California have rejected their latest contract offer. Management officials have expressed disappointment, while the union is pushing greater benefits for employees and more reasonable working conditions. 88 percent of employees in the bargaining unit voted to reject the contract, stating that it did not truly address the issues that are most concerning for employees- including long wait times and unmanageable caseloads. Clinicians are asking Kaiser to hire additional staff immediately, and resume talks.
