Kaiser Permanente's frontline healthcare workers union reached a tentative deal with the company on Friday, moving toward settling a payment and staffing dispute that had sparked the largest recorded strike in the U.S. medical sector.
The strike by 75,000 workers last week had put Kaiser at the forefront of a growing labor unrest in the healthcare industry, including among employees of pharmacies and other hospital chains like Tenet Healthcareat a San Francisco Bay-area hotel, more than a week after contract talks broke off at the start of the 72-hour strike.
"What they've achieved here in Oakland is great news for frontline workers, for Kaiser and the patients in their collective care," Su said. "We are excited to have reached a tentative agreement with the frontline health care workers of the @UnionCoalition this morning," Kaiser Permanente said on social media platform X.
Spokespersons for Kaiser Permanente and its coalition of healthcare workers unions said they would provide further details on the agreement later in the day.
