Kaiser Permanente Labor Dispute, California Nurses Association Rally

Nurses claim that budget cuts have led to premature patient discharges and increased burdens on families. This labor dispute is intersecting with the Ebola crisis as unions leverage safety concerns to highlight broader issues with healthcare administration and the Affordable Care Act.
