Inside Behavioral Health’s First Union Strike Over AI

Early this year, 2,400 clinicians at Kaiser Permanente made history: they delivered the behavioral health sector’s first-ever union strike over AI, protesting their concerns that the technology could replace their roles and negatively impact patient care.

Joining BHB's Ashleigh Hollowell on the BHB Perspectives podcast to discuss the strike and its implications are Ilana Marcucci-Morris, of the National Union of Healthcare Workers’ bargaining team, and Isamu Pant, an industry consultant and the founder of The Behavioral Health Fix. Marcucci-Morris and Pant unpack how AI is reshaping labor dynamics and what these tensions mean for the future of care delivery and the workforce behind it.
