StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEAbout 31,000 UNAC/UHCP members in California and Hawaii resume duties as talks continue; New Zealand allied health secures pay deal
About 31,000 unionized health care workers at Kaiser Permanente in California and Hawaii returned to work after a four-week strike, with both sides agreeing to a 21.5% wage increase over four years while contract talks continue. The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals said the wage deal is part of a broader package that includes gains on safe staffing, recruitment and retention. Kaiser said earlier it had offered the across-the-board pay increase as early as October, and union members said they struck to secure protections shaping patient care and professional integrity.
In New Zealand, Health New Zealand and the Public Service Association finalized a collective agreement after months of negotiations and strike action, delivering a 2.5% pay rise from December 2025, a further 2% from December 2026, and a $500 lump sum. The deal also commits to improved safe staffing, a new pay scale for sterile sciences technicians, and a $400,000 national professional development fund. Separately in California, Kaiser mental health workers voted to authorize a one-day strike over alleged unfair labor practices, with a date to be announced. Taken together, health-sector labor activity remains elevated, with settlements and new strike authorizations unfolding in parallel.
Recent health-sector settlements pair wage increases with staffing commitments, while fresh strike authorizations signal continued leverage and bargaining momentum.
