Kaiser Permanente workers prepare for largest potential healthcare strike in U.S. history

Kaiser Permanente patients may be affected as over 75,000 workers could go on strike if negotiations over labor contracts for unionized workers are not finalized on Tuesday. Discussions between SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West and the healthcare provider have been unsuccessful so far as workers say they’re struggling with a staffing crisis that is affecting the quality of patient care.

Workers are asking for across-the-board pay increases, retiree medical plans and protections against subcontracting and outsourcing. Workers across the nation said they’re ready to walk off the job for three days from Oct. 4-6 starting Wednesday at 6 a.m. in what has been described as potentially the largest healthcare worker strike in U.S. history.
