Unionized Kaiser Permanente mental health workers decided to go on strike Monday, indefinitely. The strike is taking place as a result of patient care concerns that employees feel have not been addressed appropriately. The union representing the workers is currently negotiating a new contract that would ensure quicker wait times and additional access for patients who are seeking mental health services. Thus far, it appears that Kaiser has shown a willingness to negotiate with the union and has already taken steps to solve staffing issues and appointment scheduling constraints.
