LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote. This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

Thank you @JulieSuCA @ActSecJulieSu for your fierce advocacy for workers! @SEIU @seiu49

All healthcare workers deserve a fair contract, and their patients deserve the best care possible! #patientsbeforeprofits #ProvidenceStrike

SEIU 49 stepped out to show our solidarity with striking striking nurses, doctors, physician associates, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives at Providence.

"'Kaiser needs to do the right thing,' says Kaiser Sunnyside phlebotomist Cindy Vanderveer. 'They need to invest in their patients and employees.'" ⏰ Tik tok @KPthrive @KPnorthwest—It's TIME to focus on PATIENTS over PROFITS! Read More: iatse728.org/blog/massive-k…

@SusheelaJayapal @seiu49 @KPNorthwest

I am standing with over 85,000 workers across Kaiser Permanente who have authorized a strike because patients and healthcare workers deserve better. Kaiser has the means to address its staffing crisis and properly care for patients. It's time for Kaiser to bargain in good faith.

@CGorsek @seiu49 @KPNorthwest

Kaiser was once known as the gold standard for healthcare—but they have abdicated that role by refusing to work together with its frontline healthcare workers to keep patients safe by resolving its staffing crisis. It’s time to stand with our @seiu49 healthcare heroes!

@bynum4thewin @seiu49 @KPNorthwest

I'm in solidarity with Kaiser workers who are standing up for patients, and support all efforts to work together to improve our healthcare system and solve the staffing crisis. No healthcare provider should have to take on 2-3 jobs to make ends meet.

@DanRayfield @seiu49 @KPNorthwest

1/2 Our frontline workers keep hospitals running but they’re the unsung heroes of the healthcare workforce. The work Kaiser and @seiu49 are doing to establish better workplace environments and in turn, support employees’ off the clock and with their families, is invaluable.

@DreaValderrama @seiu49 @KPNorthwest

There is a staffing crisis in the healthcare industry. Kaiser can afford to address its staffing shortages and patient care crisis but is choosing not to. Patients deserve better and so do healthcare workers.
