There have been 40 U.S. healthcare strikes in the past two years compared to 85 in the past 20 years. While it’s clear that the pandemic and high inflation have fueled this increase, the root causes of this militancy have been with us for many decades and are often overlooked.
Join Deanna Dudley, chief human resources officer of El Camino Health; Rob Baril, president of SEIU Healthcare 1199NE, John August, director of Healthcare and Partner Programs at Cornell ILR School’s Scheinman Institute; and Cornell ILR School Professor Ariel Avgar to examine the longstanding issues exacerbated in the past two years, how they led to strikes, and how solutions can emerge despite swift change and deep conflict.
