Over 75,000 unionized employees of Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest not-for-profit health providers in the US, have gone on strike, making it the largest healthcare worker strike in US history. The striking workers, represented by a coalition of eight unions, are demanding improved staffing levels, higher pay, protections against outsourcing, and earlier notice for remote workers to return to in-person work. The strike comes amidst a wave of labor activism across various industries, with healthcare workers in particular advocating for safer and more secure work environments. The strike is temporary, but a longer and stronger strike may occur in November if a deal is not reached.
