InterCon Security Officers at KaiserWorkers With No Healthcare Protecting Kaiser Facilities

Many Inter-Con Security Officers Report They Don’t Have Healthcare, 41% Surveyed Say Can’t Afford Family Health Insurance Plan

OAKLAND—In the heart of California’s leading healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente, an increasing number of security officers report they either don’t have health insurance or can’t afford the plan for their families.

Kaiser contractor Inter-Con Security is supposed to provide all 1,500 officers who protect Kaiser patients and employees with individual healthcare after the first 90 days of employment. But an increasing number of workers report that Inter-Con is not following through with promises to workers.

“I have three kids and I’ve been working for Inter-Con at Kaiser for almost two years. I usually work 40 hours a week, but Inter-Con has me classified as ‘on-call,’ so I can’t get health insurance for myself or my kids through my job,” said Renee Meyers, a security officer in Santa Rosa.

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.

Inter-Con Officers at Kaiser Speak Out for Justice

“ We've been struggling with Inter-Con for more than two years now. Instead of honoring the wishes of its employees, Inter-Con responded by unlawfully intimidating and coercing its officers. I work the graveyard shift from 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. A nurse I work with was recently shocked to discover that I don't receive differential pay for my late-night hours.”
