UNAC/UHCP Strike Social Media Toolkit

October 14–19, 2025 | California & Hawaii | #TogetherWeRise

1️⃣ Why We’re Striking

31,000 registered nurses and frontline health care professionals are taking part in the largest strike in UNAC/UHCP’s 50-year history to demand:

  • Safe staffing that reflects real patient needs

  • Fair pay and benefits that keep up with the cost of living

  • Respect for caregivers who hold the system together

  • Retirement security after a lifetime of service

Fact: Kaiser holds $66 billion in reserves yet resists fair pay and staffing solutions.

2️⃣ Video Toolkit:

We encourage you to share a video message of why you are striking.

✊ “Why I’m Striking” — For Kaiser Health Care Workers

Script example (30–45 sec):

“Hi, I’m [Name]… [insert reason]. Kaiser has the resources to fix this — but chooses not to. This fight is about protecting patient care. Join us. #TogetherWeRise #KaiserStrike #UNACUHCPStrong”

Recording Tips:

  • Keep under 1 minute | Speak clearly | Wear union gear

🫱 “I Support the Strike” — For Supporters & Allies
