Thousands of unionized Kaiser Permanente registered nurses and other health professionals are set to begin a five-day strike on Tuesday in California and Hawaii amid ongoing contract negotiations -- though Kaiser officials said affected facilities will remain open with some adjustments.
Workers represented by the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals are expected to begin picketing at 7 a.m. at locations including the Kaiser South Bay Medical Center in Harbor City; Kaiser Woodland Hills Medical Center in the San Fernando Valley; and Kaiser Baldwin Park Medical Center in South Los Angeles.
AFSCME President Lee Saunders is scheduled to greet striking workers at Kaiser Downey Medical Center at 3 p.m.
Affected workers include registered nurses, pharmacists, nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, midwives, physician assistants, rehab therapists, speech language pathologists, dietitians and other specialty health-care professionals.
A Kaiser Permanente health care center is pictured in Anaheim, California, U.S., October 3, 2023 as more than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers could go on strike from Oct. 4 to Oct. 7 across the United States.
