More than 100,000 NNU members are entering contract negotiations, saying they "plan to confront industry decisions that undermine patients' health and well-being and fail to address chronic RN recruitment and retention issues – in favor of increasing profits."
The NNU said solutions include mandated nurse-to-patient ratios and prevention plans for workplace violence. They say the solutions will help address the hospital staffing crisis.
"Kaiser Permanente is empowering nurses with state-of-the-art tools and technologies that support our mission of providing high-quality, affordable health care to best meet our members' and patients' needs," a spokesperson said in a statement. "We have consistently invested in and embraced technology that enables nurses to work more effectively, resulting in improved patient outcomes and nurse satisfaction, and we will continue to do so."
The NNU said the marches will be in Washington D.C., Texas and across California.
The rally in Sacramento was expected to be 8 a.m.- 9 a.m. starting at the Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center and ending at the Methodist Hospital of Sacramento.
