(Portland, OR) -- Kaiser Permanente is calling striking employees' demands for a significant pay raise unreasonable. A spokesperson for the company spoke to KATU-TV following another round of bargaining with the workers' union United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555 last night. The spokesperson told KATU that the union's request for a 42-percent pay raise for the workers was, quote, "frankly, not reasonable."
