Union Plans Picket Of Joe Biden Fundraiser Hosted By Kaiser Board Member
Former Vice President Joe Biden may consider himself a union man, but one California union wont be giving him a warm welcome this week.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers plans to hold an informational picket line outside a Biden fundraiser slated for Wednesday in Los Angeles, according to Sal Rosselli, the unions president. The fundraiser is to be held at the home of a director of the Kaiser Foundation, which operates hospitals as a subsidiary of Kaiser Permanente.
NUHW is locked in a bitter, yearslong fight with Kaiser over mental health staffing levels in the health care providers California facilities. Therapists waged a statewide five-day strike in December, and a one-day work stoppage in Pasadena last month.
Rosselli told HuffPost his union first reached out to Biden last week about the fundraiser to be hosted by Dr. Cynthia Telles, a UCLA School of Medicine faculty member who sits on Kaisers board. According to an invitation, contribution levels for the event range from $250 per person to $2,800, which is the maximum contribution for the presidential primary allowed under election law.
Rosselli said the union has not heard back from the campaign.
