9/2 Oakland Rally For Kaiser Injured Workers And Patients

Rally
Friday Sep 2, 2005 12:00 noon
Justice For Kaiser Injured Workers & Patients
ONE KAISER PLAZA, 1550 ORDWAY, OAKLAND
Kaiser which was formed 50 years ago is the largest HMO in the country and insures literally millions of working people. At the same time, Kasier is self insured for the workers who are injured on the job. The California Coalition For Workers Memorial Day, VOICE along with other organizations representing Kaiser injured workers are calling a statewide protest on the 2005 Labor Day weekend to demand justice for Kaiser's injured workers, the patients and the consumers. Kaiser has regularly fired injured workers, refused to compensate them, discriminated against workers who stand up for other workers and fought consumer who are trying to get justice for themselves or families. It has also covered up toxic gases and other deadly dangers in the hospitals. Kaiser's monopoly control and power over the politicians and legislature has also prevented a full airing of the role it plays in our society. It is time to speak out for the thousands of injured and disabled Kaiser workers.
50 Years Is Enough!
