Roughly 31,000 Kaiser Permanente nurses and healthcare workers in California and Hawaii went on strike this week. The union alleges unfair labor practices amid prolonged contract talks.
Workers on the picket lines are fighting for safe staffing levels and fair wages for caregivers.
We discuss what healthcare workers are fighting for, how Kaiser Permanente is responding, and what patients need to know.
