Health, Doctors and Common Sense

About 150 healthcare workers and nurses are picketing outside Kaiser's South Sacramento campus this afternoon, one of many similar demonstrations today at Kaiser Permanente's California facilities over stalled labor negotiations.

As the morning fog lifts medical workers represented by the National Union of Healthcare Workers are joined on the picket line by California Nurses Association nurses in a one-day strike outside a Kaiser Permanente hospital on Tuesday. The healthcare union is protesting proposed benefits cuts and stalled labor talks with Kaiser. Kaiser nurses represented by the nurses association joined the strike in solidarity with the smaller healthcare workers union. Photo taken January 31, 2012 in Sacramento, California
