We took to the picket line today to demand that Kaiser return to the national bargaining table and finally put the future of patient care first.

Our members are ready to do whatever it takes to win a union contract that honors healthcare workers. www.kxl.com/ofnhp-worker...

The entire country is outraged by ICE's attacks on our non-violent labor march, just a fraction of the cruelty we see them enacting around the country each and every day. We need to speak in unison with a singular demand: ICE out of everywhere!

ICE is killing people—and the public pays the bill.

As support for abolishing ICE grows, @ruwithsonali.bsky.social reports Democrats have a real chance to stop funding an agency terrorizing communities while healthcare gets cut.
There’s Never Been a More Fitting Time for Democrats to Stop Funding ICE
The money fueling ICE’s abuses comes directly out of the pockets of working Americans who are already struggling.

We have successfully reached a Tentative Agreement on all six of our local bargaining unit contracts. Now it’s time for Kaiser to finally agree to common sense proposals at the national table. Let’s do what’s best for both healthcare workers and our patients! #onevoiceonefightonefuture
Kaiser is inching closer to a new union contract. But with the last contracts having expired Sept. 30, this is the longest Kaiser workers have gone without a new contract in more than 25 years @ofnhp.bsky.social nwlaborpress.org/2025/12/kais...

Safe Staffing = Safe Care. It’s a simple equation. But right now, Kaiser is proposing that frontline workers not report violations to the state.

We demand a fair contract that puts patients first, not profits.
