Kaiser health care workers will return to work today.
health care workers in Southern California and beyond are returning to work Saturday following a three-day strike billed as the largest of its type in U.S. history.
"We are pleased to welcome back our employees who participated in this week's strike," the statement from spokesman Terry Kanakri said. "With the current strike behind us as of 6 a.m. today, our collective focus is a return to normal operations. That will be different in differing locations. We are deeply appreciative of our members for their patience during the last three days.
"We are fortunate that most procedures were not delayed or deferred, most routine surgeries were not rescheduled and our ambulatory appointment access has been close to normal, in part because we expanded access just prior to the visit and converted many appointments to phone and video. An estimated 75,000 Kaiser workers took part in the strike, according to the Coalition. In addition to California, picketing took place in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
"Health care workers within the coalition remain ready to meet at any time. Currently, the strike continues, and there are no sessions scheduled at this hour."
