US EditionUnion 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.
