Union health care workers at Kaiser Permanente to go on strike on Wednesday

Around 75,000 Kaiser Permanente employees are planning to go on strike, which could be the largest walkout of healthcare workers in US history. The strike is in response to a lack of agreement on a new contract and demands for increased staffing levels. The unions argue that the current understaffing crisis is unsafe for patients and leads to long wait times and incorrect diagnoses. The strike would affect hospitals in multiple states, with picket lines planned in several locations.
