Inter-Con Security Officers to Launch Strikes at Kaiser Hospitals Across California, Defend Civil Rights

Officers Issue 10-Day Notice of Unfair Labor Practice Strike

Security officers at Kaiser Permanente hospitals are ramping up their fight against employer Inter-Con, issuing a 10-day notice of an unfair labor practice strike in California to defend their civil rights. Inter-Con workers held the first-ever strike by hospital security officers last month in response to Inter-Con threatening, intimidating, and spying on workers who were trying to form a union for better conditions.

"We wanted a union for better pay and benefits—just like other workers inside Kaiser. But instead we’ve got Inter-Con violating our civil rights. We go to work every day to protect these patients and employees, but we have no protections ourselves,” said Warren Chauvin, Fremont.
