Kaiser Injured Workers and Patients to Hold Protest
Kaiser's local injured workers and patients to hold rally at beginning of Labor Day weekend
Kaiser injured workers and patients will demonstrate on Friday, September 2nd at Kaiser Center in Oakland to protest the attacks on injured Kaiser workers and patients. The rally will be held at 12pm on Friday at One Kaiser Plaza, at 1550 Ordway in Oakland, 94612, in front of the big glass building. Kaiser is the largest HMO in the country and insures millions of working people. At the same time, Kaiser is reportedly "self-insured" for workers who are injured on the job. The California Coalition For Workers Memorial Day, VOICE, and with other organizations that represent Kaiser's injured workers, are calling for a statewide protest on the 2005 Labor Day weekend to demand justice for Kaiser's injured workers, the patients and the consumers.

Kaiser has fired injured workers, refused to compensate them, discriminated against workers who stand up for other workers and fought consumers who have tried 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. This protest aims to speak out for the thousands of injured and disabled Kaiser workers.
