Medical workers at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Santa Rosa are planning to picket. Ursula Nieto, a Kaiser Nurse, explains why:
About 200 employees are expected to protest statewide pay reductions and job cuts tomorrow afternoon. The worker’s union said no Santa Rosa employees will be affected, but local employees will picket from 11 to two o’clock as a show of solidarity with medical workers elsewhere. Kaiser representatives said the picketing won’t affect patient care.
