Kaiser, which is Oakland’s largest private employer, directs employees to stay in it’s Oakland headquarters building for lunch over crime concerns.
Kaiser also told employees at worksites outside of Oakland to avoid going to the Oakland headquarters if at all possible.
KTVU has learned that Kaiser Permanente is telling its workers at its downtown Oakland headquarters to stay in the building during lunch. The directive was given over concerns about crime. But many disagree with these orders including businesses who say they depend on workers patronizing their restaurants.
