New York City Nurses End Six-Week Strike With Pay, Staffing Pact

Thousands of nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia voted to end a six-week strike by ratifying a three-year contract that includes roughly a 12% raise, staffing protections, and layoff safeguards (with AI provisions for the first time). The stoppage, the largest and longest NYC nurses strike in decades, involved up to 15,000 nurses across several hospitals and led to replacement hires and care disruptions. While the deal averts further walkouts for now, tensions between the NYSNA union and hospital leadership are likely to linger as the next contract approaches in three years.

Kaiser strike extends into fourth week as workers press for higher pay and staffing

More than 31,000 Kaiser Permanente health care workers, including about 22,000 Southern California nurses, remain on an open-ended strike in its fourth week, disrupting appointments and surgeries across California and Hawaii. The union is demanding a 25% wage increase over four years to address inflation and staffing needs, while Kaiser has proposed a 21.5% raise and argues its large reserves should not be used for payroll. Negotiations have resumed after a stalemate but no deal is near. The dispute also involves Northern California groups such as nurse midwives, nurses anesthetists, and physician assistants, with patients reporting long lines and canceled care.

SFUSD directs staff to 'Staff Centers' as strike looms, prompting confusion

As San Francisco Unified School District braces for a teachers’ walkout, it emails more than 6,000 employees detailing redeployment assignments to eight Staff Centers to maintain operations during Monday’s strike. The plan, affecting teachers, SEIU workers, principals and administrators, has sparked confusion and concern about crossing picket lines and what work will occur at the centers. Staff are asked to report by 7:30 a.m., bring their laptops, and note that printers won’t be available; the district says it cannot compel striking workers to cross the picket lines but must offer work opportunities for those unwilling to strike.

England's resident doctors vote to extend strike action over pay and training

England's resident doctors have backed more walkouts, giving the BMA a six‑month mandate to press for a deal on pay and the availability of training posts; 93% voted in favour with a 53% turnout.

The government has offered a 2.5% pay rise from April, and talks have continued since Christmas.

WNBA CBA Talks Stall as League Pledges Formal Response, No Counteroffer Yet

In New York, the WNBA and its players’ union held a roughly three-hour in-person meeting, but the league did not present a counterproposal to the union’s latest offer and instead said it would prepare an official response. The players seek a $10.5 million cap and a revenue-share model based on total revenues before deductions, plus housing, retirement benefits, and professional standards; the league’s prior offer featured a $1.3 million max salary and an average salary over $530k under its revenue-sharing plan. About 40 players joined via Zoom, with leadership from both sides and several team owners in attendance. While reports of internal EC debate emerged, players say there is no fracturing. A strike remains possible but is not imminent, and more talks are required before any decision on labor action.

CBA talks resume as WNBA players warn of strike risk

As WNBA CBA negotiations resume, talks are at an impasse with a potential strike looming. A high-stakes in-person meeting in New York will bring WNBPA leaders like Nneka Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum, and Napheesa Collier together with league officials to push for a larger revenue share, a higher salary cap, and protections such as housing; Natasha Cloud publicly criticized the league’s approach. The union seeks roughly 30% of gross revenue and a $10.5M cap, vs. the league’s offer of around 15% of gross revenue (70% of net) and a $5M cap, while free agency remains on hold and the 2026 season approaches. The outcome could mark a turning point in negotiations.

Ubisoft unions push four-day strike over anti-remote-work and layoffs

Ubisoft unions representing several groups have called for a four-day international strike (Feb 10–12) in protest of the company’s restructuring, which includes game cancellations, delays, a shift back to full-time in-office work, and layoffs aimed at saving €200 million. The unions say there was little dialogue with management and point to a voluntary redundancy program, arguing staff autonomy is essential—‘without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games.’
