A strike by Southern California healthcare workers at Kaiser organized under the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) has now carried on for 20 weeks, prompting the intervention of California Governor Gavin Newsom. After months of deadlock, Kaiser refused to yield to workers’ demands for pensions and adequate time to attend to patient care duties. Over a month after Newsom’s office offered to bring both sides into mediation, Kaiser finally agreed to sit down with the Governor’s mediators, with sessions beginning on March 10. Mental health patients in particular have been left in the lurch by Kaiser’s intransigence, and the crisis is only worsening as the aftermath of the recent Los Angeles wildfires takes its toll on the area’s residents. Working People co-host Mel Buer investigates the ongoing strike in this interview with Kaiser workers Jessica Rentz and Adriana Webb.
Editor’s note: this episode was recorded on February 25, 2025, before Kaiser agreed to mediation on March 3, 2025. Additional links/info:

The shaky ceasefire in Gaza is in danger of collapsing, but the genocide of the Palestinian people has not been paused. On Feb. 25, Israeli tanks stormed Jenin, the heart of the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, for the first time since the Second Intifada. From Donald Trump’s declarations that the US should “own” Gaza to promises to deport pro-Palestine student activists, the new administration’s intentions to accelerate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and criminalize solidarity with Palestinians have been made clear. Abby Martin, independent journalist and host of Empire Files, joins The Real News to help analyze how war on Palestine is expanding and evolving.

The average transgender man or woman in Uruguay lives to just 35 years of age. They are often ridiculed and rejected. Forced from school at far too young an age. Forced into prostitution and other dangerous jobs.
But one woman has been standing up. Collette Spinetti Nuñez helped to push the passage of Latin America’s first trans law in 2018. This week, she became the first trans woman, ever, to hold a cabinet-level position in the Uruguayan government. The new leftist Frente Amplio administration took office on March 1. Colette is the country’s new secretary of human rights.
“My identity is sending a message to the world,” says Spinetti. And she has been vocal about her condemnation of Donald Trump's attack on trans and LGBTQ rights in the U.S.
This is the seventh episode of Stories of Resistance.
Stories of Resistance is a new project, co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

Written and produced by Michael Fox.
Here is some more of Michael’s reporting about the Frente Amplio’s return to power in Uruguay.
