75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers go on strike | ATVN Wed. Oct. 4, 2023

More than 75,000 Kaiser Permanente walked off the job Wednesday morning, marking the largest healthcare strike in U.S. history.

Over 400 healthcare professionals employed by Kaiser Permanente, the largest nonprofit healthcare provider in the country, gathered on a downtown Los Angeles sidewalk on Wednesday. They were staging a protest to voice their grievances about what they perceive as unjust working conditions following unsuccessful labor negotiations. ATVN goes live from the picket lines at Kaiser Los Angeles Medical Center on Sunset Blvd.

These healthcare workers were just a fraction of the 75,000 Kaiser employees across the nation who participated in the strike.

This strike will have a significant impact on healthcare facilities, including hospitals and medical offices, in multiple states, including California, Colorado, Oregon, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Washington.

Authorities are still looking for a suspect in the aftermath of a shooting at Morgan State University, Maryland’s largest HBCU.
