After voting to create a union late last month, Kaiser Permanente residents said they are hoping to negotiate wage increases and other benefits to reflect the rising cost of living
Medical residents and fellows at Kaiser Permanente facilities in San Francisco and throughout Northern California said they are looking forward to negotiating what they argue are much-needed cost-of-living increases at the bargaining table after voting to unionize late last month.
Now, representatives from each discipline at the eight medical centers — Sacramento, Modesto, Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara, Santa Rosa and Vallejo — will be elected to represent the union when bargaining begins later this summer. “Before us unionizing, we were virtually the only people not unionized in Kaiser,” said Dr. Brandon Anderson, a second-year internal medicine resident at the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center. “I think there's a sense of hope that because of that long history of working with unions in general, there will be potentially a show of good faith.”
SF officials say City Hall vandalized with racist, sexist slurs Mayor London Breed said that the vandalism was discovered by multiple city employees who showed up to work early Wednesday morning Residents typically make between $60,000 and $80,000 a year, according to the CIR spokesperson, which in the Bay Area can be difficult to manage. Anderson said that, compounded with the demands of a resident’s schedule, can be challenging.
Along with wage increases, unionized residents are hoping for “improvements for benefits as well,” Bal said. “A lot of people are advocating for things like fertility benefits, increased food stipends, housing stipends, especially as the cost of living continues to increase.”
