Thousands of frontline #KaiserPermanente healthcar Thousands of frontline #KaiserPermanente healthcare workers across the country have been proudly wearing our buttons to let executives know "We've Earned the #KaiserHeroBonus!" Since the beginning of the pandemic and through this terrible third wave, we've been risking our lives and the lives of our families to do our jobs. Meanwhile, Kaiser made $4.5 BILLION in profits in just the second quarter of this year, and is sitting on $44 BILLION in cash and investments. We're ramping up our efforts to win the bonus so we can retain staff for safe, quality patient care! #hazardpay #hazardpayforessentialworkers #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #coronavirus #covid_19 #covid
Post a selfie and say WHY we’ve earned the #Kais Post a selfie and say WHY we’ve earned the #KaiserHeroBonus! 1) Take a selfie, or a photo with your coworkers, kids or family members. You can also make a short video if you prefer. 2) Post your selfie or video to all your social media accounts using the hashtag #KaiserHeroBonus and tag Kaiser. 3) In your post, describe your dedication to ensuring quality care for patients and WHY frontline workers have earned the Kaiser Hero Bonus. Important: Make sure no patients or patient information are in your posts. When all 85,000 members of the Coalition of #KaiserPermanente Unions get active together, we’ll have the strength to win the Hero Bonus! #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #hazardpay #hazardpayforessentialworkers #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #covid_19 #covid #coronavirus
We are UNITED & DETERMINED to win the #KaiserHeroB We are UNITED & DETERMINED to win the #KaiserHeroBonus! Thousands of frontline Kaiser healthcare workers have signed onto our pledge calling for the bonus, which is a moral imperative to recognize our commitment and retain staff for quality patient care. Last week we delivered our pledge to management and now we're wearing buttons to show our unity. Check out these proud @seiuuhw members from across California! #KaiserPermanente #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #covid #covid_19 #coronavirus #hazardpay #hazardpayforessentialworkers #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers
"In the lab we're processing COVID samples and see "In the lab we're processing COVID samples and seeing hundreds of patients a day. We're not always the most visible members of the healthcare team, but we're absolutely essential to getting fast, accurate test results and saving lives. We take great pride in our work, and we love Kaiser and our patients with all of our hearts. But we also have a feeling of dread as we put our lives on the line every day during the pandemic. Administrators seem to have forgotten that we're the backbone of Kaiser, from the lab to nurses, techs, environmental services and clerks. We're the ones in the trenches doing the jobs no one else wants to do. We need management to recognize and acknowledge that in order for Kaiser to thrive, frontline workers and our families must thrive as well. We continue to provide patient care with passion, competence, and courage, and we've earned the #KaiserHeroBonus." -Paula Coleman and Lauren Coffey, Clinical Laboratory Assistants Kaiser Permanente Englewood Medical Offices, Colorado @seiu105 members If you're a member of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, sign our pledge at www.KaiserHeroPledge.org #KaiserPermanente #covid #covid_19 #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #hazardpay #hazardpayforessentialworkers #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #coronavirus #labwork
"Being in the healthcare field is very empowering, "Being in the healthcare field is very empowering, and I love providing quality care to my patients. However, during the pandemic I've lost a lot of sleep and my anxiety levels are through the roof because I'm worried about bringing the virus home to my asthmatic son, my mother who's battling cancer or my grandmother. Kaiser is making billions in profits, and they need to share that success with the essential workers who are actually doing the labor. Other industries have provided hazard pay, and now it's time for Kaiser executives to reward those of us on the front lines with the Hero Bonus." -Johnsolene Caffey, Clinical Assistant Kaiser Permanente Falls Church Medical Center, Virginia @opeiu Local 2 member 12 years of service If you're a member of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, sign our pledge at www.HeroBonusPledge.org #KaiserHeroBonus #KaiserPermanente #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #covid_19 #covid #coronavirus #hazardpay #hazardpayforessentialworkers #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #kaiserpermanentethrive
"My job is to scan women for breast cancer, but it "My job is to scan women for breast cancer, but it's also to care for the whole mind, body and spirit of my patients. Social distancing just isn't possible when scanning, counseling, or consoling a patient. Frontline Kaiser staff--from lab techs and environmental services to nurses and receptionists--don't have the option to work remotely, so we're putting ourselves at risk every time we clock in. I've had several of my Kaiser coworkers get very sick from COVID. I haven't been able to hug my 75-year old mom for eight months now for fear I could infect her. Meanwhile, administrators are keeping themselves and their families safe by working from home or their offices. Kaiser is thriving with billions in profits, but they can't only focus on numbers and revenue, they have to make sure essential staff can thrive as well. We need Kaiser to live up to their professed ideals and values, and back up their words with action by awarding the Hero Bonus." -Georgette Bradford, Ultrasound Technologist Kaiser Permanente Point West Medical Offices, Sacramento, CA @seiuuhw member 17 years of service If you're a member of the Coalition of KP Unions, sign our pledge at www.HeroBonusPledge.org #KaiserHeroBonus #KaiserPermanente #hazardpay #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #hazardpayforessentialworkers #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #ultrasound #ultrasoundtech #covid #covid_19 #coronavirus
"During the first wave, I volunteered to work extr "During the first wave, I volunteered to work extra shifts and weekends so we could care for all the sick patients. I also worked in the triage tent evaluating which patients would be sent to the COVID unit. I was exposed to a COVID-positive patient and that was a nerve-wracking couple of weeks. I couldn't go near my daughter, husband, grandkids or elderly parents. I've had coworkers who've gotten very ill with the virus, and some Kaiser workers have made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. All of us--nurses, techs, nursing assistants, dietary, housekeepers and every other Kaiser worker--are in a war zone and put our lives and the lives of our families on the line every day. Meanwhile, most Kaiser executives are at home tele-working and haven't set foot in patient care areas. Kaiser is extremely healthy financially, and it's time they honor the frontline workforce with the Hero Bonus." -Carlene Gonzalez, Licensed Practical Nurse Kaiser Tysons Corner Medical Center, Virginia @OPEIU Local 2 member 13 years of service If you’re a member of the Coalition of KP Unions, sign our pledge at www.HeroBonusPledge.org #KaiserHeroBonus #KaiserPermanente #coronavirus #covid_19 #covid #hazardpay #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #hazardpayforessentialworkers #kaiserpermanentethrive
"I treat up to 25 children a day, and always try t "I treat up to 25 children a day, and always try to put myself in their shoes to make sure they feel calm, comfortable and welcome. As healthcare workers we took an oath to serve and care for our patients and communities. But we're wrestling with our own fears and anxieties about the virus. I have four kids at home, and all of them are at high risk because of health issues. Recently a young coworker died of COVID, and Kaiser didn't have any sort of memorial or acknowledgement of her decade of service. Upper management is sitting safely at home behind a computer, while we're risking our lives every day caring for patients. Because of our commitment, Kaiser has been able to have massive growth and financial success. We urgently need Kaiser to hear our voices and reward the Hero Bonus to recognize the sacrifices and hardships our families have endured." -Shanequa Green, Pediatric Clinical Assistant Alexandria Kaiser Center, Virginia @opeiu Local 2 member 5 years of service If you’re a member of the Coalition of KP Unions, sign our pledge at HeroBonusPledge.org #KaiserHeroBonus #KaiserPermanente #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #hazardpay #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #coronavirus #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #hazardpayforessentialworkers
"Helping Kaiser patients gives me a tremendous fee "Helping Kaiser patients gives me a tremendous feeling of purpose. During the pandemic, Kaiser workers have been asked to work in dangerous and stressful conditions, and we've made the transition without even thinking twice because we want to be there for our patients, even when our own health or our families' health may be jeopardized. I'm raising a 14-year old daughter and a 9-year old son, and have been fearful of bringing the virus home to them. Meanwhile, Kaiser has seen their profits skyrocket to billions of dollars. We need executives to honor our courage and the role we've played in their success by rewarding the Hero Bonus." -Carmen Diaz, Certified Medical Assistant Kaiser Permanente Washington State @seiuhealthcare1199nw member 8 years of service If you're a member of the Coalition of KP Unions, sign our pledge at www.HeroBonusPledge.org #KaiserHeroBonus #KaiserPermanente #covid_19 #covid #coronavirus #hazardpay #heropay #hazardpayforhealthcareworkers #hazardpayforessentialworkers #healthcare #healthcareworkers #healthcareheroes #kaiserworkers
