一 | 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.。

二 | 8月25日消息,上海近期明确公布了下一阶段产业领域的重点工作目标,其中就把加快推进新型工业化、构建适配城市定位的现代化产业体系摆在了核心位置。 按照上海对外披露的专项产业规划,接下来将重点发展壮大全链条民用航空装备产业,核心推动C909系列化迭代、C919规模化量产、C929核心技术攻关落地,集中资源突破航空发动机、机载系统、核心复合材料、高端航空制造装备等关键配套环节,加快培育完全自主可控的本土大飞机和低空装备全产业链。 按照中国商飞此前对外公开的研发进度信息,定位290座级的C929宽体客机完全由中方独立主导研发,项目此前已经正式完成总体方案评审,全面转入详细工程设计阶段,目前风洞试验、机身分段静力测试、核心系统匹配攻关等多个环节正在同步并行推进,整体研发节奏比预期进度更快。 为C929配套的国产自研CJ-2000长江大涵道比发动机,目前累计已经完成3000小时高空台全状态测试,实测峰值推力达到35.2吨,综合性能直接对标国际同级主流航发产品,彻底打通了大飞机整机动力自主化的最关键核心环节。 从支线客机到单通道干线客机再到宽体大飞机的全链条布局,搭配核心航发的完全自主突破,意味着国内民用航空产业已经彻底走完了技术摸索的初步阶段,接下来很快就能形成完全自主可控、具备全球市场竞争力的完整产业集群,直接打破过去海外厂商垄断宽体客机市场的长期格局。
