Kaiser Permanente is in the pocket of the SEIU. So much so, that the NLRB said so.
"Yesterday, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Judge William Schmidt announced that Kaiser Permanente brazenly violated federal labor law by withholding scheduled raises and tuition reimbursements from workers who voted to leave the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and join the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) earlier this year, and ordered immediate remedial action.
In the plainest of rebukes, Judge Schmidt referred to the “massive damage done” to workers' rights by Kaiser, characterized the company's justification for its actions as “lack(ing) merit” and “without legal foundation,” and called its cited legal precedents “misplaced.” Judge Schmidt ordered Kaiser to “immediately restore and apply” the scheduled wage increases plus interest, tuition reimbursement benefit, and steward training benefit provided under the workers' prior union contract."
SEIU is an openly corrupt organization--the founders of the NUHW came from the SEIU, and left because they did not like the corruption.
I have been a member of Kaiser for more than 30 years and have received great service and health care. Yet the organization has used my premium dollars to promote and protect the SEIU that has caused so much harm.
