A | OAKLAND, Calif. -- Unions representing 75,000 health care workers have reached a tentative agreement with industry giant Kaiser Permanente following a strike over wages and staffing levels, the parties announced Friday.Details of the agreement were not immediately released, but both sides said a full announcement was forthcoming.The three-day strike last week involving 75,000 workers in multiple states officially ended last Saturday and workers returned to their jobs in Kaiser’s hospitals and clinics that serve nearly 13 million Americans.“The frontline healthcare workers of the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions are excited to have reached a tentative agreement with Kaiser Permanente as of this morning,” the coalition posted Friday morning. “We are thankful for the instrumental support of Acting US Labor Secretary Julie Su.”Kaiser Permanente, based in Oakland, California, confirmed the deal in a social media post.Bargaining sessions had been scheduled for this week, the unions said.The strike for three days in California — where most of Kaiser’s facilities are located — as well as in Colorado, Oregon and Washington was a last resort after Kaiser executives ignored the short-staffing crisis worsened by the coronavirus pandemic, union officials said. The coalition had given the company notice that another strike from Nov. 1 to Nov. 8 was possible and the Oct. 31 expiration of a contract covering the Seattle area would enable another 3,000 workers to join picket lines.Their goal was to bring the problems to the public’s consciousness for support, according to the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions. Some 180 workers from facilities in Virginia and Washington, D.C., also picketed but only on Wednesday.The strikers include licensed vocational nurses, home health aides and ultrasound sonographers, as well as technicians in the radiology, X-ray, surgical, pharmacy and emergency departments.“No health care worker wants to go on strike,” Caroline Lucas, the coalition’s executive director, said Thursday. “I hope that the last few days have helped escalate this issue.”The company warned the work stoppage could cause delays in people getting appointments and scheduling non-urgent procedures.Unions representing Kaiser workers in August asked for a $25 hourly minimum wage, as well as increases of 7% each year in the first two years and 6.25% each year in the two years afterward.Kaiser, which turned a $2.1 billion profit for the quarter, said in a statement last week that it proposed minimum hourly wages between $21 and $23 depending on the location. The company said it also completed hiring 10,000 more people, adding to the 51,000 workers the hospital system has brought on board since 2022.Union members say understaffing is boosting the hospital system’s profits but hurting patients, and executives have been bargaining in bad faith during negotiations.The workers’ last contract was negotiated in 2019, before the pandemic.。 北京8月17日电(记者 韩鹏飞)8月17日,国务院新闻办公室举行新闻发布会,介绍2026年7月份国民经济运行情况。 会上,国家统计局新闻发言人、国民经济综合统计司副司长王冠华介绍,7月份,我国居民消费价格总体保持温和上涨态势,同比上涨0.5%,涨幅比上个月回落0.5个百分点,环比下降0.1%,主要是由于国际输入性因素的影响。7月份,国际原油价格振荡下行,国内汽油价格环比下降10.7%,降幅比上个月扩大5.8个百分点,影响CPI环比下降约0.35个百分点。从同比来看,国内汽油价格7月份同比上涨1%,涨幅比上个月回落16个百分点,影响CPI同比涨幅回落约0.45个百分点。

B | 食品和能源价格受短期因素的影响较大,观察物价的变化不仅要看CPI,还要看扣除食品和能源之后的核心CPI的变化。7月份,核心CPI环比上涨0.3%,同比上涨0.9%,涨幅都比较稳定。特别是部分的工业消费品和服务价格上涨比较明显,反映了居民消费提质扩容对于物价的支撑。具体来看,7月份,扣除能源的工业消费品价格同比上涨1.5%,其中黄金饰品、个人护理用品价格分别上涨24.6%和1.7%;人工智能驱动消费电子产品迭代升级,相关产品的需求旺盛,价格上涨,计算机、平板电脑、移动电话机的价格同比和环比都有所上涨。另外,居民多样化、个性化、品质化的服务消费需求不断释放,带动7月份的服务价格同比上涨0.7%,其中医疗服务、家政服务、在外餐饮价格同比分别上涨4.3%、1.3%和1.0%。

C | 另外,随着暑期的文旅出行需求增加,旅行社收费、宾馆住宿、飞机票、交通工具租赁的价格也都比上个月有所上涨。

D | 另外,判断物价的变化,不能只盯着单个月份的数据,还要看累计、看连续多个月份的变化才能够得出更加客观的结论。前7个月,我国CPI同比上涨0.9%,核心CPI上涨1.1%,与去年全年和去年同期相比,涨幅都有比较明显的回升。综合来看,尽管国际输入性因素对于国内部分领域价格造成了扰动,但是消费价格温和上涨的态势没有改变。

E | 物价能否合理回升,主要还是看国内的需求状况和供求关系。版权申明:凡注有“”或电头为“”的稿件,均为独家版权所有,未经许可不得转载或镜像;授权转载必须注明来源为“”,并保留“”的电头。 。
