- More than 75,000 workers at Kaiser Permanente are prepared to strike if the healthcare provider fails to address staffing issues and improve pay and benefits.
- The strike will affect Kaiser facilities across several states and will target the ongoing problem of short staffing, which has led to unsafe wait times and deteriorating patient care.
- Despite negotiations, the coalition of unions remains far apart from Kaiser on important issues. The workers are seeking pay raises, improvements to pension plans, and protections against outsourcing.
