More than 400 security officers who work at Kaiser are in the middle of an unfair labor practice strike against their employer, Inter-Con. Inter-Con has repeatedly violated workers' civil rights by threatening, harassing, intimidating and interrogating officers. The strike affects 23 Kaiser facilities statewide. Officers in Northern California started the strike on Tuesday morning, May 6. Officers in Southern California will join the strike on the last day, Thursday, May 8.
