"Even taking a 15-minute break is difficult, and we're obligated to have that," Jacqueline Gilbert said. Gilbert is a licensed vocational nurse at Kaiser and has worked for the healthcare provider for 19 years."I'm personally just calling to be respected," Gilbert said."I want to be able to take care of my patients without being exhausted because I've worked a full day and having to stay for overtime because there's not enough help."Right now, she spends more time at work than with her family."My office is an 8 to 5, basically. We work before. We work after.
"We need more staff so that we can fill out those forms, we can give our people the job protection that they need, the state disability payments that they so desperately need," Curtis said.Negotiation sessions are set to resume next week.
