   Hundreds of health care workers and their allies rallied in Los Angeles on   
   Monday, calling for better wages, more staffing and stronger benefits. In   
   a planned act of civil disobedience, protestors sat in a circle in the   
   middle of Sunset Boulevard outside the hospital to block traffic. Police   
   arrested 25 people.   
   Why it matters: Kaiser Permanente workers say staffing shortage and   
   burnout have only worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic. They say a $25   
   minimum wage would help, along with better benefits and cutting high   
   executive salaries to boost staffing and wages.   
      
   The backstory: The divide between how much executives make while everyday   
   workers struggle has been a major theme for labor actions throughout the   
   summer, from school staffers to hotel workers to city employees to UPS   
   drivers to writers and actors. L.A. has been at the center of these   
   protests.
