Kaiser strike ends with thousands of nurses returning to work Tuesday
The strike involved over 30,000 health care workers demanding higher wages and better staffing at Kaiser Permanente, marking the largest nurses strike in U.S. history, union said.
- After four weeks on strike, unionized health care professionals will return Tuesday following `significant movement at the bargaining table`, ending picketing and the walkout against Kaiser Permanente.
- On Jan. 27, the union launched the strike after negotiations stalled in the fall, with more than 31,000 nurses and health professionals walking off and picketing beginning Jan. 27.
- Clinics and hospitals remained open, with some in-person appointments shifted to virtual and elective procedures rescheduled, about 2,800 clinicians in Northern California joined the strike, and Kaiser estimated its offer would cost nearly $2 billion while the union's would cost $1 billion.
- Finalizing return-to-work agreements, both sides are ensuring a smooth transition while observers await a tentative agreement for a union membership vote, and the union said returning members to patients is key.
- With details scarce, it remains unclear which specific issues—such as staffing ratios or alleged unfair labor practices—were resolved, while Montefiore and Mount Sinai ended walkouts earlier this month and Kaiser serves 12.6 million members across 600 medical offices and 40 hospitals.
