75,000 Kaiser Permanente Workers Begin Largest Health Care Strike in US
75,000 Kaiser Permanente Workers , Begin Largest Health Care Strike in US.
The three-day strike began
on Oct.
4, 'The Guardian' reports.
The workers are seeking new union contracts since their current ones lapsed on Oct.
1.
They want better wages
and staffing, 'The Guardian' reports.
Kaiser Permanente locations in California, Colorado, D.C., Oregon, Virginia and Washington have been affected.
Unions cited the health care provider's
$3 billion profit in the first half of the year.
They also pointed to
executives' excessive salaries.
Record profits should mean record
contracts that invest in workers
and the patients we serve, Dawn Martin, a medical assistant in
Battle Ground, Washington, via statement.
Kaiser executives are refusing to listen to
frontline healthcare workers like me and are
bargaining in bad faith over the solutions we
need to end the Kaiser short-staffing crisis, Dawn Martin, a medical assistant in
Battle Ground, Washington, via statement.
The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions
said that over the summer, the health care provider said that its workers "make too much money"
while its CEO is paid $16 million per year.
Workers across race and background are
taking on Kaiser, saying it’s time to bargain
in good faith and respect us, protect us and
pay us the living wages we need to thrive.
They’re demanding what’s necessary for patients to get the quality care they need and deserve, Mary Kay Henry, international president of the Service
Employees International Union (SEIU), via statement.
They are burnt out, scared for their
patients and fed up.
It’s time for Kaiser
to act with the urgency this staffing
crisis demands and to settle a fair contract
that includes long-term solutions to the
crisis like livable wages and benefits, Mary Kay Henry, international president of the Service
Employees International Union (SEIU), via statement

Homicide and Other Violent Crimes , Declining in Cities Across the US.
'The Guardian' reports that a recent crime analysis found that homicides in major cities across the United States are falling at , “one of the fastest rates of decline ever recorded.".
There’s just a ton of places that
you can point to that are showing
widespread, very positive trends, Jeff Asher, AH Datalytics, via 'The Wall Street Journal'.
According to AH Datalytics' sample of nearly
200 cities, murder was down by 20.8% in 2024,
when compared to the same time in 2023.
Some cities, including Washington DC,
New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Milwaukee,
saw murder rates decline by over 30%.
Some cities, including Washington DC,
New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Milwaukee,
saw murder rates decline by over 30%.
The analysis is based on the FBI's Uniform Crime
Reporting program, which consists of data collected
by local law enforcement agencies across the nation.
While the FBI's 2023 report will not be audited or made
official until October, preliminary figures suggest
that murder rates significantly dropped in 2023. .
The latest data suggests that this
year's declines will continue at an even
faster clip, nearing pre-pandemic levels. .
'The Guardian' reports that the latest
data mirrors another drastic decline
in homicides during the 1990s.
Nationally, you’re seeing
a very similar situation to what
you saw in the mid-to-late 90s.
But it’s potentially even larger
in terms of the percentages
and numbers of the drops, Jeff Asher, AH Datalytics, via 'The Wall Street Journal'.
The AH Datalytics data also found that nearly
all other violent crimes saw significant
declines in 2023 compared to 2022. .
The quarterly data in particular
suggests 2023 featured one of the
lowest rates of violent crime in the
United States in more than 50 years, Jeff Asher, AH Datalytics, via 'The Wall Street Journal'

The heads of state from Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have jointly expressed "grave concern" regarding China's conduct in the contested South China Sea. Over recent years, Beijing has intensified its presence in this crucial maritime region, leading to heightened tensions, notably with the Philippines. This nation, among others in Southeast Asia, asserts territorial claims over portions of the sea adjacent to its shores. In response to a recent altercation near Second Thomas Shoal that resulted in injuries to Filipino soldiers and damage to vessels, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines declared Manila's intention to enact countermeasures against China. The leaders of Japan, the Philippines, and the United States expressed shared concerns over the People's Republic of China's (PRC) provocative actions in the South China Sea during the inaugural summit held in Washington, DC. This joint statement comes amid escalating tensions in the region.
