Over 75,000 workers poised for largest healthcare strike in US history

Kaiser Permanente workers push for improvements to staffing levels and wage increases after union contract expires

More than 75,000 healthcare workers at the US's largest non-profit private healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente, are poised to strike on 4 October in the largest healthcare strike in US history.

The workers' union contract expired at the weekend and staff are pushing for significant improvements to staffing levels and wage increases that account for recent high inflation.
