LOS ANGELES—A rally and march will be held in Los Feliz neighborhood on Monday in conjunction with Labor Day to draw attention to what organizers say are long patient wait times, missed diagnosis, neglect, and chronic understaffing in patient care.
Organizers expect more than 4,000 health care workers to attend the 9 a.m. rally at Los Feliz Elementary School, then march with members of other unions about a half-mile to Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, where a “civil disobedience action” will occur around 11 a.m., Renée Saldaña, press secretary for SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, told City News Service.
