KP statement about SEIU-UHW picketing

Kaiser Permanente provided the following statement to media in response to inquiries about SEIU-UHW picketing at KP facilities: SEIU-UHW’s decision to stage picketing and make misleading and inaccurate statements about Kaiser Permanente is uncalled for and counterproductive.
