Kaiser Healthcare Workers Launch Major Strike Amid Wage Disputes
TL;DR Summary
Tens of thousands of Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers across multiple states are set to strike for five days starting October 14, due to unresolved contract negotiations focusing on staffing, wages, and benefits. The strike involves union members representing 62,000 employees, with some hospitals remaining open but shifting to virtual care for some services. Kaiser has offered wage increases and improved benefits, but union members feel their concerns are not adequately addressed. The company is preparing for the strike by onboarding additional staff and reassigning volunteers.
