FAQ's
Where do I go to picket?
You should go to your work site unless you work from home or you were told a different location.
I work from home. Where do I go?
You may have gotten a text message from the union about your picket line assignment. If you don’t have that information, go to the closest medical center.
What time do I show up to picket?
You should show up at the start time of your typical work shift. We want everyone to show up in force for the first 3 days so come join us even if you don’t typically work. If you are on a rotating shift or you are on call, you should show up at a time based on the month of your birthday:
07:00 am = January, February, March, April
11:00 am = May, June, July, August
03:00 pm = September, October, November, December
For facilities that are 24 hours (Fontana and Ontario Medical Centers) you may also chose a 7:00 pm 11:00pm or 3:00 am shift
Please note that some picket lines are running 24 hours; some are running only during operating hours of that facility. (LINK to picket lines)
What if the clinic where I work is closed?
We have reassigned members to the closest picket location if their worksite is closed. Please check this link for picket locations (link to picket lines).
Anything I need to know about going to the picket line?
Picket lines are how we show the community and KP our solidarity and strength. We want to ensure our pickets are organized, disciplined and family-friendly. Our Picket Captains are responsible for ensuring the safety of our members, supporters and patients, making sure our lines don’t interrupt patient care or medical transport. They are available to help answer questions, handle incidents and track picketing activity.
What if I’m on shift at 7am on Nov 15
You should clock in at your assigned start time. At 7:00 am, you should clock out and walk out with your union family. Join the picket line at your facility or join the closest picket line. Make sure you follow any normal clocking out procedures.
Do I clock out on Nov 15? Or just walk out?
You should follow all normal procedures as if it is the end of your day. If you typically report out you should plan to report out as you normally do.
Do I go in if my shift starts at 6:30 am?
You should arrive at your shift as normal and clock out at 7:00 am.
Do I need to give my supervisor a notice?
No, the Union has given KP a proper notice to strike. You will not be charged with patient abandonment or be written up for walking out or not showing up on Nov 15 when the strike begins.
Do I need to continue to do my weekly COVID tests while I am on strike?
We recommend employees to continue their weekly testing while on strike. It is impossible to know how long the strike will last, or when it will end, and we do not want there to be any delay in employees' ability to return to work. The strike can end suddenly and we want to ensure that no employee is required to stay out of the facilities any longer than necessary.
Can I show up prior to 7am?
Legally the picket starts at 7am and we will set up at this time. Do not plan to picket prior to then.
