Kaiser Permanente, the largest healthcare nonprofit in the US, has reached a tentative deal with the unions representing over 75,000 employees after a three-day strike for better pay and benefits. The strike was the largest healthcare workers’ strike in US history. Both the union officials and Kaiser Permanente expressed gratitude for the involvement of Acting US Labor Secretary Julie Su.
