So, one of the big union groups (UNAC/UHCP, currently 31,000+ employees) working at THE biggest healthcare provider in CA (Kaiser Permanente, it's Kaiser Permanente) is now in their 3rd week of the indefinite strike started because Kaiser refuses to show up to the bargaining table and has been refusing since December (for those of you playing at home, it's now fucking February).

In October 2025, when the same union went on a week long strike because of the insultingly terrible offers from Kaiser, an ER physician at Kaiser called his striking colleagues "parasites" and were "dumb" for demanding safer staffing (federally mandated staffing!!!) and that KP's C-suite are not only working to back out of the unions but are actively working to replace all union staff with non-union contractors.

This came out in public via this post.

Dr. Robert Graham McCormick is still a KP physician.

~~"Oh, Fleet! But he apologized!"~~

ONLY ONCE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT IT

Anyway, if you would like more information about the ongoing strike and Kaiser's terrible sense of ethics:

The UNAC/UHCP union website.

I highly suggest reading their report "Profits Over Patients" which describes not only the above, but also the $67+ BILLION IN RESERVES that this non-profit (in name only) has but will not spend on care.

But at least your doctor can use AI to record your 15-minute MAX appointment (that you waited 2 months to get) and then never verify its accuracy!

But, hey, if you have more concerns, just schedule another appointment for another 2 months out! 🥰🥰🥰

Kaiser Permanente: We ditched the "Thrive" motto because Greg Adams needs another $15 million salary!

Kaiser Permanente: Where the only money we spend in the community is to private prisons!

Kaiser Permanente: Where we bring in travel nurses from out of state to fill in instead of bargaining with our unions!

Kaiser Permanente: Where it's apparently better business to be constantly paying off lawsuits than improving staffing or patient care!

Kaiser Permanente: Where we said "fuck them trannies" and illegally """paused""" gender care for legal adults because a fascist wannabe dictator had a little tyrant tantrum and scribbled on a notepad!

Los Angeles: Back to the Streets! Say No to U.S. Wars!

Thursday, October 20 - 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Westwood Federal Building, 11000 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles

Stop Washington's proxy war in Ukraine! Stop U.S. threats against Russia and China! Disband NATO! No US troops to Haiti! Stop funding Israeli apartheid against Palestinian people.

Washington has spent $70 billion for weapons to Ukraine in the biggest handover of U.S. military equipment in history. No politicians on either side of the aisle have objected to the dangerous drive toward a possible nuclear war, nor to this huge drain on the treasury that has worsened skyrocketing prices at home!

This protest is part of the coordinated national call by the United National Anti-war Coalition (UNAC).

Protest demands ‘Billions for the Bronx, not for war’

By Struggle-La Lucha New York bureau

Oct. 15 – A rally in the Bronx, New York, today demanded “No to NATO, War and Racism!” The action, which drew more than a hundred, was organized by the Bronx Anti-War Coalition as part of the United National Antiwar Coalition’s call for opponents of wars and sanctions to get “back to the streets” from Oct. 15-23 against U.S. war moves toward Russia and China.

At an opening rally in Fordham Plaza, community organizers, speaking in both Spanish and English, decried the $70 billion spent on the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine while residents of the Bronx – the city’s poorest borough – struggle with evictions, hunger, decrepit schools and racist police violence.

March 1 to 7: International week of actions to stop war with Russia

No Wars! No Sanctions! No NATO!

The conflict in Ukraine has escalated to a dangerous level between two nuclear armed states. The United States and its allies continue to portray the current situation as one of Russian aggression without acknowledging that US-backed Ukrainian forces are attacking the Eastern region of the country and killing citizens of Russian ethnicity. This current escalation is a serious threat to world peace and requires a unified and rapid response by anti-war organizations from around the globe to stop a major war.

Petition to Free Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning

From United National Antiwar Coalition:

The US has charged Julian Assange with espionage, and he now faces up to 175 years in prison for telling the truth about U.S. war crimes.   He is charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 which was passed soon after the U.S. entered World War I in large part to stop opposition to the war.  If convicted, he will be the first publisher convicted of espionage for publishing classified information.  The case could greatly limit what publishers can report about U.S. policy.

Assange is not a US citizen; so, if these charges hold, journalists anywhere in the world who tell the truth about the United States can be subject to prosecution if the U.S. decides the information is “classified.”  In recent years, the U.S. has routinely classified information about illegal and unpopular acts committed by its military as a way of hiding them from the public.

Chelsea Manning, who initially leaked the information to Assange and Wikileaks about U.S. war crimes has also been jailed for refusing to cooperate with a grand jury convened to get information to prosecute Assange.   Manning has refused to speak to the grand jury and play any role in the attacks on Julian Assange.

Please read and sign the petition at the link.
