The COVID-19 epidemic has put unprecedented strain on health care systems around the world. Frontline health workers are still at great risk, from lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) to discrimination and harassment or repercussions for whistleblowing #HealthWorkerProtest

Inspired by @AcctResearchCtr's @HealthWorkerPro project, the team studied @ACLEDINFO data.

They found 3,913 protests, a massive rise on the previous year’s 2,416. 3/

So 40,000 SEIU Kaiser workers are joining the 32,000 Alliance Kaiser workers in a "sympathy strike." Then 8,000 others may join shortly, as well as NUHW, pharmacists, and engineers. We are talking 80,000+ Kaiser workers on strike. One of the largest healthcare strikes in history.

When we talk about health workers, we must make sure we capture the health system in its totality @HealthWorkerPro
