Kaiser Permanente management responded Thursday to an announcement this week that a union representing mental health workers plans a weeklong strike statewide this month.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers, which represents mental health employees at Kaiser facilities across the state, on Wednesday filed an official notice of intent to strike Jan. 12.
About 2,600 mental health workers will engage in the strike to draw attention to what union officials say is Kaiser’s failure to provide timely and adequate mental health services to patients.
The union represents 65 mental health employees in Santa Rosa and nine in Petaluma, including psychotherapists and clinical social workers.
