The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals (UNAC/UHCP) — which represents more than 30,000 Kaiser Permanente employees in California — told the company's executives that the strike will begin on Tuesday, October 14.
Healthcare unions are required by law to give employers a ten-day notice before a strike so that hospitals can prepare.
It’s the largest UNAC/UHCP strike ever against Kaiser. Tens of thousands of nurses and healthcare professionals are expected to join the picket line at hospitals across California.
