StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEMore than 3,000 UFCW members add to 31,000 UNAC/UHCP strikers, prompting some pharmacy and lab closures in California and Hawaii
Thousands of additional Kaiser Permanente pharmacy and laboratory workers in Southern California joined an ongoing strike as 31,000 nurses represented by the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals are in their third week of action. UFCW Southern California locals said more than 3,000 members walked out, affecting dozens of facilities across Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and other counties, while picket lines also continue in California and Hawaii. Kaiser said hospitals and most medical offices remain open but acknowledged some pharmacies and outpatient labs have temporarily closed or reduced hours; it is using contingency staff and redeployed managers, and said over 35% of strikers returned, a figure the union disputes. The open-ended strike continues until a contract agreement is reached.
Labor tensions also persisted in the United Kingdom, where 37 Unison-represented phlebotomists in Gloucestershire rejected proposals to end what the BBC calls the longest strike in NHS history. The trust said it offered a new higher-banded role, while a binding national panel option was also turned down; Unison said talks continue. Separately, Prospect said Atomic Weapons Establishment staff backed industrial action over restructuring, with 95% for action short of strike and 81% for strike, as the Ministry of Defence sought a constructive resolution.
Closures or reduced hours at pharmacies and labs indicate strike impacts on prescription dispensing and diagnostic services, beyond inpatient care.
