Union workers reach a tentative deal with Kaiser Permanente after the largest-ever US health care strike

Kaiser Permanente's frontline healthcare workers union reached a tentative deal with the company, resolving a dispute over staffing levels and pay. This comes after the largest recorded strike in the U.S. Medical sector, which involved 75,000 nurses, medical technicians, and support staff.
The strike highlighted the growing labor unrest in the healthcare industry, as staffing shortages and burnout from the pandemic have led to 5 million medical workers leaving their jobs. Kaiser's outsourcing of healthcare duties to third-party vendors and subcontractors was a major point of contention in the contract talks.
The previous four-year contract expired on Sept. 30, leading to negotiations for better pay and improved staffing levels. The deal reached with the unions came more than a week after contract talks broke off, preventing a potential eight-day strike scheduled for next month.
