“Kaiser Permanente patients with appointments next week are on notice that a wide range of medical professionals plan to stage a five-day strike, starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday. … Kaiser has not said publicly exactly how its members are likely to be affected by the work stoppage, which involves 31,000 workers in California and Hawaii who are members of the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals. … The union’s stated reasons for this disruption are ‘stagnant wages and unsafe staffing,’ with an organizer indicating Friday that wages in the bargaining unit’s previous contract did not keep up with inflation.” (10/11/25)
