75,000 Kaiser Permanente Healthcare Workers Walk Off Job Across Half a Dozen States
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seventy-five thousand healthcare workers with Kaiser Permanente are
walking off the job in a major strike that will run through the end of
this week. Talks have failed to yield a new agreement as workers seek
higher pay, better staffing, and improvements in their pension plans and
other benefits. The strike would affect Kaiser workers in California,
Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Virginia and Washington, D.C. It's the
largest strike of healthcare workers in U.S. history.
