Kaiser Permanente and unions reach agreement following healthcare workers strike

The strike, which ran for three days, marked the largest work stoppage to date in the healthcare sector

Kaiser Permanente's healthcare workers unions have reached a tentative agreement with the company, the union said in a social media post on Friday.

The California-based care consortium and the union representing healthcare workers resumed negotiations on Thursday, more than a week after contract talks broke off at the start of a 72-hour strike by 75,000 nurses, medical technicians and support staff.
