Planned walkout would affect Kaiser Permanente sites in California, while New York nurses strike continues and Victoria health workers plan action
Unions representing nurses and health care professionals have delivered a strike notice covering Kaiser Permanente facilities across California, with tens of thousands threatening to walk out. The planned action would affect Kaiser locations statewide, according to reports on January 18, 2026. It follows a previous Kaiser strike last fall.
In New York City, nurses represented by the New York State Nurses Association are in the fifth day of a strike affecting three Mount Sinai hospitals, with talks resuming at the request of a mediator, the union said. Roughly 15,000 nurses walked off the job Monday; a separate meeting with NewYork-Presbyterian and a federal mediator ran late with little progress, according to the union, while the hospital called the proposals “unreasonable.” Separately, technical and technologist employees represented by Teamsters 760 began a strike January 17 at MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital in Washington amid first-contract talks, and thousands of health workers in Victoria, Australia, plan to strike over pay. Together, the actions span the healthcare sector across multiple U.S. states and Australia.
Planned and active healthcare labor actions are reported in California, New York, Washington, and Victoria.
