Kaiser Permanente Workers Strike Enters Second Week

Walkout by 31,000 nurses and staff spans California and Hawaii, as New York and Oakland disputes escalate and Minnesota deal averts strike

An ongoing strike by 31,000 nurses, technicians, and other healthcare workers at Kaiser Permanente in California and Hawaii has entered its second week. Workers cite staffing and pay as key issues in the dispute. The strike spans facilities in both states and covers multiple job classifications across the system.

In the Bronx, Montefiore nurses are in the fourth week of a walkout, during which employer-provided health coverage ended for striking staff; they have pressed for lower staffing ratios in the emergency department. In California’s Bay Area, health workers at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland plan to strike over what they say are cuts in take-home pay, and the hospital plans to close most locations during the action. In Minnesota, HealthPartners and nearly 2,000 SEIU-represented workers reached a tentative agreement to avert a strike, including wage increases of 4% in the first year and 3% in each of the next two years, pending a ratification vote. Together, these developments show healthcare labor activity across multiple U.S. regions.

Key Insight

Concurrent actions in California, Hawaii, New York, and Minnesota indicate widespread bargaining pressure across U.S. hospital systems.
