in Southern California and beyond are expected to return to the picket lines Friday, the third day of a planned three-day strike the union representing the workers calls the largest of its type in U.S. history.
The coalition has been pushing for higher wages commensurate with inflation, increased staffing and working conditions. The unions have also repeatedly accused Kaiser of bad-faith negotiating, an allegation Kaiser has denied.
Kaiser officials issued a statement Wednesday saying, "After six months of bargaining with the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, including a marathon effort that went through last night and into today , our bargaining sessions unfortunately ended without a settlement, and the Coalition strikes began."
The company also affirmed its commitment to hiring, confirming that it has already reached a goal of hiring 10,000 new union-represented employees before the end of the year.
